Mentoring within schools promotes teacher retention and consistency among educators. Mentoring programs not only increase job satisfaction and help teachers to emerge as leaders within their schools, but also have a positive effect on student achievement and engagement. Teachers work collaboratively with each other as valued team members. When schools implement mentoring programs effectively, the sharing of knowledge between teachers becomes an inherent quality whereby students, teachers, and the school climate benefits.  \nBusinesses world-wide have adopted various mentoring and induction programs in an effort to help new employees become acclimatized to their jobs. Mentoring programs are meant to help new hires with job expectations, to increase job satisfaction and productivity, and to identify and develop leaders within the organization. Mentoring programs work much the same in education systems, but instead of making money, mentoring programs in schools develop highquality educators who then promote student achievement. Schools with mentoring programs remain consistent in their transfers of knowledge, help to foster leadership, and promote teacher retention. Instead of working in isolation, educators collaborate and critically assess new knowledge. The shift in teacher collaboration is a welcome change from the isolated practices that educators have become accustomed to, and is a benefit to teachers, students, and school climates.  \nConsistency  \nSchools benefit from consistency, and mentorship can provide new teachers with a level of consistency that may otherwise be overlooked. With mentoring, novice teachers have direct access to the mentoring teachers who can share their knowledge, thus reducing the time that it takes to acquire necessary information. Principals are often too busy at the start of the year to sit down with new staff and go over the many details that are necessary to learn, and therefore rely on their mentoring teachers to assist and guide the new teachers. Mentorship promotes rapid learning (Stanulis & Floden, 2009) and builds a level of consistency useful in all aspects of the day-to-day school practices: student learning, expected behaviours, and the overall positivity of the school’s climate.  \nSchool climate refers to the quality and character within schools. It is based upon experiences, goals, teaching practices, relationships, and organizational hierarchies within schools (Cohen , McCabe, Michelli, & Nicholas , 2009) . When teachers mentor, they teach the novice teachers about the school climate. This transfer of knowledge is invaluable for new teachers who are struggling to remember and conquer many tasks. Jennifer (a pseudonym) discussed how, at her first job, she had no mentor, and there seemed to be no consistent expectations. She would often see teachers purposefully ignore negative student behaviours, claiming that they did not know the procedures. Jennifer felt that the school climate was unruly, inconsistent, and manipulated by the students. Eventually, she left the school and took a job at another school, because she did not think that the school climate was going to change. When teachers feel such negative emotions, they are unable to maintain an ideal level of efficacy (Vesely, Saklofske, & Leschied, 2013) . At her current school, Jennifer has a mentor and feels like valued team member, whereby teachers are invested participants who uphold expected  \nstandards. She said that one of the reasons for the positive school climate is the mentors, who guide and teach the novice teachers.  \nTeam Teaching  \nMany teachers long for connections to their peers. Traditionally, co-teaching and collaborative work was not considered a necessity, which is why there are still pr","cbCaicaoul7rthi7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicaoul7rthi7","pdf",140351,"English","# Abstract\n# Consistency\n## School climate\n# Team Teaching","[{\"question\":\"How does teacher mentoring benefit schools, teachers, and students?\",\"answer\":\"Teacher mentoring supports teacher retention and consistency among educators.
