MDE announced Section 27h administrator mentoring grant awards this week. Districts should now know whether they received funding to support administrator mentoring.
Here’s what you can do:
- Check with your central office. Confirm whether your district received Section 27h funding and discuss mentoring needs in your building.
- Share our Mentor Request Form. Ask your central office partner to complete the form so MASSP can follow up directly about a potential partnership.
Who is eligible?
Assistant principals, deans, and principals in their first three years in a building-level role or new administrative position, including those with prior administrative experience who meet program eligibility requirements.
Districts are responsible for providing required mentoring support regardless of whether they received Section 27h grant funding.
MASSP is ready to partner with your district.
MASSP’s Strengthening Leaders program is an MDE-approved Section 27h mentoring provider. Through structured mentoring, individualized 1:1 coaching, and statewide cohort learning, we help administrators build the confidence, judgment, and leadership capacity needed to succeed in their roles.
Once a Mentor Request Form is submitted, MASSP works with the district to thoughtfully match administrators with trained Mentor Coaches based on their role, experience, leadership needs, and local context.
