Mentoring is a critical component to teacher success, and thereby student achievement. Mentoring is even more powerful when it's done with someone in the same content area. As world language teachers, we don't always have a language mentor in our school, or even in the district. That's the reason STaRLT launched a peer mentor program for Georgia's world language teachers. Our inaugural cohort was the 2024-25 school year, and we are looking forward to working with the upcoming cohort!

​Who can participate? 

The Georgia World Language Teacher mentor program welcomes mentors with more than 5 years' teaching experience who ascribe to a communicative language approach to teaching. The goal is to guide new teachers in developing solid, communicative-based teaching strategies who will remain in Georgia classrooms for years to come. If you would like to contribute to the development of our next generation of language teachers, please fill out the application found here: https://tinyurl.com/GaWLMentor
