DLiTE may take place primarily online but having a mentor ensures you will get practical experience as well.<\/p>\n
*We are unable to accept mentor applications from teachers in the Bemidji School District at this time, unless the student is already employed by the school district.<\/span><\/p>\n One of the great aspects of the DLiTE program is the use of the Teacher Mentor Support System for our student teachers. Each student is required to choose a K-6 Teacher Mentor currently teaching in a public school with at least three years experience to support them throughout their DLiTE learning experience. The mentor teacher with whom you will work must be licensed in the area in which you are seeking licensure. Please note:<\/em> The mentor you choose must be in a setting where all elementary subjects are covered during the school day. Those not eligible: Art, Music, English as a Second Language (ESL), Special Education, Science or Math teachers whose primary focus is on a specific subject area.<\/p>\n The mentor is the most powerful aspect of our DLiTE Program design, offering up practical viewpoints on teaching. We have detailed the mentor information below to help you learn everything there is to know about the Teacher Mentor piece of the DLiTE Program. Be sure to view the tutorial and pass along to your teacher mentor.<\/p>\n We are looking for teacher mentor and principal teams to give the student support during the semester. The principal will have no responsibilities other than to sign the application and participate in one short interview during their field experience. Both the mentor and the principal will be considered part of our team.<\/p>\nFinding A Mentor<\/h2>\n
