Dear teachers and counselors -
Every year at this time of the year we reach out to you to kindly ask you to promote this early college program among your students. We'd be really grateful if you could support this effort by also reaching out to other teachers and counselors you know. This so far remains the only program in Italian in the U.S. that allows high school students to experience college life, earn credits in advance and be more prepared for AP and advanced courses. We thank you for your help at a time in which joining forces to support Italian (and foreign languages at large) at any level of the education system is more important than ever.
Please reach out with questions and comments.
Cordiali saluti e grazie!

Job Title: TLRN University Mentor

Application: Click here
TLRN University Mentors, “U Mentors,” are assigned to clinical teacher interns who are in their clinical year of the teacher education program. U Mentors provide support in the form of feedback, resources to deepen their knowledge and skills, and liaise with cooperating teachers, seminar faculty, and MSU colleagues to ensure interns have a network of support as they develop their ability to be ready to teach. They attend annual Clinical Prep Week events in order to prepare for the upcoming academic year. U Mentors also are provided opportunities to attend monthly meetings, University events, and technology training sessions.
For Academic Year ’22-’23, the goal is for mentors to be observing in person in the classrooms. Mentors should expect to meet the requirements of the schools, such as proof of COVID vaccination and/or testing, and COVID surveys/forms prior to observations. Mentors will determine observation formats with the intern and cooperating teacher.
TLRN University Mentors observe and mentor interns over the course of the clinical year. One full intern assignment involves mentor supervision of intern teachers in their field placements six (6) times during the semester or year depending on the program. University Mentors are expected to communicate with cooperating teachers before, during, or after each observation. Mentors complete six formal progress reports and a summary report for each intern in the MSU-issued platforms. This is currently calculated as thirteen (13) hours of work; six (6) hours for supervision and four (7) hours for reports.
Requirements
As per NJ DOE’s state code, 6A:9A-4.4 Clinical component and candidate supervision for CEAS educator preparation programs:
The total number of interns assigned per semester depends on enrollment numbers, certification and concentration areas of interns, and the number of interns a mentor elects to be assigned. Further, mentor pairing is done concurrently with the onset of a future semester, and may be subject to change.
U Mentors serve as representatives of the MSU Teacher Education Program and reflect the TLRN mission:
The Department of Teaching and Learning is committed to preparing educators to work toward equity and justice in a range of education settings, and against the exploitation, exclusion, and marginalization of humans. We aim to do so by combining well‐informed educational approaches and teaching strategies with critical examination of relevant sociopolitical contexts. Thus, we are committed to helping current and future teachers as they engage in well‐informed ways of thinking about their worlds. Our hope is that this will enable them to make sense of, and take action in, complex social moments and settings. This includes respecting the perspectives and experiences of students, teachers and community members who may identify themselves in any variety of ways. In addition, we recognize that thoughtful educational praxis requires thinking and action at multiple levels: individual, communal, and systemic. We are dedicated to helping teachers as they make meaningful connections between classroom practice, theories and research, educational policy, and the sociopolitical contexts within which individuals and groups exist.
U Mentors agree to advocate for, model, and engage the tenets of the TLRN mission through their work with interns. These tenets are evidenced in the Portrait of a Teacher that informs the teacher preparation programming at MSU.
Montclair State University is committed to the creation and development of teachers who strive to exemplify the knowledge, skills and dispositions required for excellence in teaching.
The centerpiece of our work is a document called the Portrait of a Teacher, which, through a series of statements, embodies Montclair State University’s vision of an educator and informs the evaluation of candidates to the teacher education program, the assessment of student teaching, and the professional development of our community of teachers.
Montclair State University envisions teachers who:
