Minnesota’s most successful Career and Technical Education (CTE) teacher mentoring and induction program.
With more than 20 years of experience mentoring new agriculture & natural resources, business & marketing, family & consumer, health/human services, trade & industry, and work-based learning teachers, our CTE Teacher Induction Program (TIP) and the advanced mentoring programs give you the tools to be successful.

Introductory mentoring and induction for secondary teachers new to the profession who are in need of support with foundations of CTE and basic pedagogy/instruction, most often Tier 1 and Tier 2 teachers, or those teaching on an Out-of-Field Permission. CTE TIP offers free curriculum, mentoring, professional development, and resources.

Advanced mentoring and induction for those who have recently completed a teacher preparation program (Tier 3) or those who have completed CTE TIP (Tier 2 or Tier 3) and need license-specific support to build a program, design and adopt curriculum, and enhance their teaching and pedagogy. Tier 1 or 2 teachers should first complete CTE TIP.
