The Illinois Education Association (IEA) will implement two programs: (1) an in-person, site based mentoring program and (2) an online-based (virtual) coaching program to be delivered to approximately 2,000 first, second- and third-year public school teachers and clinicians or early childhood educators who are employed by an entity that is the recipient of the Early Childhood Block Grant and who hold or are in the process of obtaining a professional educator license. The Illinois Education Association (IEA) must verify that each participant is in their first, second, or third year of teaching/serving as a clinician. On-site mentors shall be selected by each participating school district based on teacher effectiveness and proven ability or aptitude to build relationships and provide thoughtful guidance and support to new teachers and clinicians. Virtual coaches will be selected by the new teacher and/or the new clinician based on grade, content, cultural affinity, special education, and bilingual matching criteria. Illinois Educator Identification Numbers (IEINs) and names must be collected for all educators, coaches, and mentors participating in the program.
