Virtual Support for Teachers

I found this article about online mentoring for teachers that I thought may be of interest to you. The idea is that there is a virtual space in which teachers can find support, advice, and ideas from other teachers (both peers and more experienced "mentors") - sort of a social networking for teachers, but with a slightly different purpose. Building from some of the reasons that other such face-to-face mentoring programs have failed, they offer some ideas about why these virtual spaces may be more useful for teachers. Check out the article here.

In the article, they reference an already established program from the University of California at Santa Cruz; the program is called eMentoring for Student Success. I haven't checked this out yet, but it might be interesting to see what their program looks like.
