Mentorship
The DTEACh mentorship program is designed to empower teachers to use the DTEACh method in their classrooms. Each new DTEACh Summer Institute graduate is paired with a mentor from industry, usually an engineer, for technical support during classroom implementation. Mentors commit to spend at least one semester with their teacher partner, although some teacher/mentor teams continue working together for several years.
The Mentorship Experience
Because each classroom is unique and every teacher's needs are different, DTEACh prepares teachers and mentors to work together to define the relationship and roles that work best for them.
Since 2000, Austin-area professionals have given more than 20,000 hours in local classrooms through the DTEACh classroom mentorship program. Read about their experiences.
