Keeping a mentor teacher binder is my top tip for staying organized in your mentoring role! Use these editable forms, calendars, logs, lists, tips, and more to save time, stay focused, and excel as a mentor to a new teacher! These time-saving pages are perfect to create a cute, organized mentor teacher binder that you can use all year long.
You can print the PDF pages if you prefer to plan by hand, or use the editable pages in PowerPoint if you'd like a typed version. Use the binder covers and dividers to add some color and stay organized!

Most of the calendars are available in both 1- and 2-page spreads to suit your needs. The PDF version of the binder pages also includes monthly calendars for August 2023 - August 2024. These are updated in late spring/early summer ahead of each new school year.
In order to preserve the formatting I’ve used in the PPT files, directions are included to download four free fonts from Kimberly Geswein.
Please note that this resource is for one mentor teacher's use only.
