Mentoring Kickoff 2026

Early-career teachers: are you ready for a classroom full of students?
Veteran teachers: are you interested in mentoring an early-career teacher this year?

We encourage you to attend the 2026 Mentoring Kickoff. Network with motivated peers, explore best practices from experienced teachers, and participate in Q&A to help you prepare for a successful start to your school year.

For veteran teachers, we offer a “Mentoring 101” session to explore best practices in mentoring younger teachers.  

For early-career teachers, topics include classroom management, working with admin, recruiting, and open-ended Q&A with experienced music educators.  

The Mentoring Kickoff is Tuesday, August 18th from 7 – 8:30 PM. Register at tinyurl.com/o29s1px.
