 * Bring back the mentors?
 * Dan would like to see the district select a master teacher as the mentor.
 * ESU 6 could set up a Mentor Training program if requested. <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark">Later summer?
 * BR Cohort serves as a sort of mentor training as well. Districts would like to see the mentor <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark">be within their district so there is the common language as well as the districts' dynamics in mind in regards to teaching/mentoring. A fellow peer.
