Creating a mentoring culture in Newark schools
This past September Newark Board of Education Superintendent Roger Leon and MENTOR Newark Executive Director Thomas Owens co-authored an editorial in NJ.COM about the creation of the "Director of Mentoring Services" position. This is a first for school districts in our region and will accelerate the growth of mentoring in Newark Board of Education Schools.
