The Bourne Public Schools is committed to providing continued support for its new teachers. In year two of your BPS experience you will be required to complete 50 additional mentored hours beyond the induction year. This is also required if you are moving from an initial license to a professional license. You will need to submit a log documenting your hours to the Steering Committee.
Additionally, and as a way to provide continued support, 2nd year teachers must attend monthly meetings held by the Lead Mentors. These are great opportunities to connect with colleagues to discuss successes and challenges, as well as, participate in professional development opportunities. These meetings count as part of your 50 additional hours of mentoring. Please see the following resource for more information about the 50 hour requirement: Understanding the 50 Hour Requirement for Professional Licensure
Once you have met all first and second year requirements, your Certificate of Completion will be issued. If you have any questions, please contact a member of the Steering Committee.
