Evidence Collection for Project C.Y.C.L.E. Mentors
New Teachers in Project C.Y.C.L.E. - The details for mentoring evidence collection were outlined in the last B-More Mentor Newsletter. If all of your teachers are participating in Project C.Y.C.L.E. then you have documentation and evidence (through CASTL) of your support with those teachers. For this reason, you are excused from completing Part 3 of the process with any teacher participating in Project C.Y.C.L.E. You will still need to complete Part 1 for yourself and Part 2 for each new teacher you are working with at your school. If you would still like to do Part 3 for any of these teachers, please feel free to turn in other evidence of your supports.
New Teachers not in Project C.Y.C.L.E. - Any teacher who is not participating in Project C.Y.C.L.E. and is being supported by you must have evidence submitted to verify mentoring supports. You will need to complete Part 3 in addition to Part 1 and Part 2 for each new teacher you are working with at your school who is not a participant in Project C.Y.C.L.E.
