Who maintains the site

Mentor Teaching is an independently maintained teaching-resource library, published and maintained by its operator and reachable at work@laclear.us. It is maintained as a public reference project rather than as a district, university, school, or professional licensing body.

Who the site is for

Mentor Teaching is written for adult educators: classroom teachers, specialists, instructional coaches, and teacher educators planning instruction. The site is not directed to children, and its resources are designed to be read and adapted by a professional, not consumed by students as a product. The site does not collect student data, and its forms ask educators not to submit student information of any kind.

What independently maintained means

Articles are selected, edited, sourced, and published without representing a school district, university, government agency, or named professional credential. The site does not present invented classroom experience or qualifications as fact. No article claims that a licensed teacher, professor, psychologist, lawyer, accessibility specialist, or medical professional reviewed it, because none has been retained for that role.

How articles are prepared and how sources are selected

• Use peer-reviewed research and systematic reviews when a claim is causal, quantitative, or contested.
• Prefer government education agencies, IES resources, university teaching centers, CAST, CASEL, PBIS, established standards organizations, and relevant professional organizations.
• Use practitioner resources as examples or implementation aids, not as proof of broad causal claims.
• Narrow or remove claims when an appropriate source cannot support the wording.

Illustrations

Illustrations on the site are created with image-generation tools and are editorial illustrations, not photographs. They are decorative, are not presented as real classroom scenes, and carry empty image alternatives so screen readers skip them.

Funding and advertising

The site is funded and maintained by its operator. Advertising is not currently enabled; if advertising is added, it will be clearly labeled and separated from editorial content, and this page and the Cookie and Advertising Disclosure will be updated. No advertiser or sponsor controls article selection, content, or conclusions.

Corrections and updates

When an error, broken source, or clearer explanation is identified, the page is reviewed against the available evidence. Substantive revisions receive an updated date; publication dates are not changed to make a page appear newer. Send corrections, source suggestions, and page-specific concerns through the contact page or the Editorial and Corrections Policy.

Review cadence

High-priority teaching guides are reviewed when a source, policy, accessibility requirement, or classroom-use concern changes and during scheduled quality passes. Other articles are reviewed in priority order as sources, policies, and classroom-use concerns change. Every article shows its publication date, and substantive revisions add an updated date.

Scope and professional judgment

These resources provide general classroom-planning information. They do not replace district policy, individualized education plans, accommodations, safeguarding procedures, or the judgment of qualified school support professionals. See the Terms of Use for the full scope.
