Who maintains the site

Mentor Teaching is an independently maintained teaching-resource library. It is maintained as a public reference project rather than as a district, university, school, or professional licensing body.

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.

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.

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.

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 remain in a review queue ordered by risk, traffic importance, and practical value.

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.
