Mentoring Conferences
In Minnesota CTE, we offer strong onboarding and teacher-to-teacher mentoring during your first years in the classroom. CTE TIP helps Tier 1 or 2 (i.e., industry experts) who are new to Career & Technical Education navigate licensure, planning for instruction, and the basics of CTE. Instructors in their first years of teaching and when through a licensure preparation program, or completed CTE TIP, then go through TIP for their specific licensure area (e.g., AFNR TIP, FCS TIP) where they are paired with a mentor and receive additional resources and support.
Highlights
For new alternatively licensed teachers (Tier 1 or 2) or Tier 3 teachers on an Out-of-Field-Permission.
Focuses on teacher efficacy and thriving in year one.
Includes two multi-day conferences, a mentorship program, and monthly virtual meetings.

The Minnesota CTE Teacher Induction Program (CTE TIP) serves as a professional learning community for new CTE teachers, providing a positive influence in their development, efficacy, success, and retention. Participants are supported by senior mentors, Minnesota Association of Career and Technical Education (MnACTE) regional mentors, and CTE TIP staff. CTE TIP program has proven very successful, with an 97% retention rate between year one and year two of teaching. Teachers receive access to the statewide curriculum, monthly professional development, and personalized coaching from an experienced CTE teacher.
