Scorer for Summer 2008 - This training is for experienced
teachers in each of the portfolio content areas who have been
invited to become scorers.
Mentor Training:
Initial
Support Teacher Training - This three-day training
is for those teachers selected by their district to serve as BEST
mentors.

Beginning Teacher
Seminars - Mentors are invited to accompany the beginning
teacher they support to the two-session seminars designed to assist
teachers as they prepare their portfolio.
Portfolio Support
Training (all content areas)- This is a one-day training session.
It serves as an update on the portfolio assessment, for previously
trained mentors, and as an introduction to the portfolio assessment
for other colleagues or administrators. You will be trained to
work with beginning teachers and gain a fuller understanding of the
portfolio process. Trained portfolio scorers would not need to
attend this.

Portfolio Scorers - This one-day training is for
currently trained portfolio scorers selected by their district to
serve as BEST Mentors.
Mentor Seminar Series
- A three-part series designed to support mentors in the vital role
they play in promoting the professional development of beginning
teachers. This is open to all mentors.
