Mentor Teacher – Middle School
What is a Mentor Teacher in the Ecole School system?
In our educational model, the traditional role of a teacher has been reimagined. Each Mentor Teacher serves as a guide for approximately 20 students. Rather than focusing on teaching specific subjects, mentors focus on building strong, meaningful relationships with students and helping them navigate their educational journeys.
Mentors act as guides, observers, motivators, and companions, helping students learn how to learn, create career plans, and take ownership of their education.
Key Responsibilities:
- Teach "Learning How to Learn" courses during the first four months to assigned student groups using hands-on, student-centered methods.
- Collaborate with students and their families to create individualized career plans and customized course pathways.
- Guide, monitor, and observe students' self-directed learning journeys.
- Track daily academic progress and hold regular one-on-one and group meetings.
- Oversee and assess the development of each student’s digital portfolio.
- Attend and evaluate student project presentations, providing feedback and coaching.
- Maintain a physically and emotionally safe, inspiring, and supportive learning environment.
- Serve as a living role model, building positive relationships with students, families, and the broader community.

Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with portfolio-based assessment, digital learning tools, and self-directed education models.
