University is part of a new state collaborative that will develop and pilot an approach to recruiting, selecting, training and retaining highly effective mentor teachers who will help to prepare future educators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants include two Delaware school districts\u2014Colonial and Red Clay\u2014and five educator preparation programs: Wilmington University, Delaware State University, University of Delaware, Relay Graduate School of Education, and the Delaware Department of Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collaboration was launched by US PREP, a national coalition of 22 universities who have developed or are developing year-long teacher prep residency programs.&nbsp;Currently, the coalition trains and prepares more than five percent of teachers in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Delaware Mentor Collaborative is important for future educators because we are setting the standards that will ensure that every year-long teacher resident in the state of Delaware is supported and taught by a highly qualified mentor teacher,\u201d says Stacie Zdrojewski, a specialist in novice educator development for the Red Clay School District.&nbsp;\u201cThis support will result in a stronger, more professionally satisfied teacher workforce which will decrease attrition and benefit the students of Delaware.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmu.edu\/education\/indexe.aspx\">Explore our College of Education
