这一为期四年的教师进修和留用项目将培养180名有经验的教师，成为360名科学、数学和技术新手教师的导师。 在三年的时间里，每位新教师将接受至少150小时的指导。 分阶段的指导计划是每名指导教师在第一年指导一名新手教师，第二年指导两名新手教师，第三年指导三名新手教师。 指导教师得到项目人员、其所在地区的支持，并参加专业会议，参加更大的指导教师专业学习社区。 新教师得到指导支持，加上教材和当地地区的支持。 该项目强调严格的以内容为中心的专业发展（PD）课程，部分由雇用未完全达到国家许可标准的教师的雇用做法决定。 PD机会将通过暑期学院和全州会议提供。 在该项目直接支持的教师中，180名将担任缅因州、新罕布什尔州和佛蒙特州的地区和全州范围的内容导师。

This four-year Teacher Enhancement Renewal and Retention project will prepare 180 experienced teachers to be mentors for 360 novice science, mathematics and technology teachers. Over a span of three years each novice teacher will receive a minimum of 150 hours mentoring. The phased mentoring plan has each mentor teacher mentoring one novice teacher the first year, two the second year and three the third year. Mentors are supported by project personnel, their local districts and for travel to professional meetings to participate in the larger professional learning community of mentor teachers. The novice teachers receive the mentoring support plus educational materials and local district support. The project emphasizes a rigorous content-focused professional development (PD) curriculum, dictated in part by hiring practices that employ teachers who have not fully met state licensing standards. PD opportunities will be delivered through summer institutes and statewide conferences. Of the teachers who are supported directly by the project, 180 will serve as district and statewide content mentors for the states of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
