  1. This toolkit offers a structured, year-long framework to support peer mentoring partnerships in computer science education. It provides (1) a program calendar outlining monthly activities, scheduled mentor–mentee meetings, and three mentorship cycles aligned with key CS teacher standards; (2) guided self-reflection tools to help teachers identify professional strengths and areas for growth; (3) a partnership agreement to establish norms for communication and collaboration; (4) goal-setting templates with illustrative examples to scaffold targeted professional learning; and (5) mentoring logs to document bimonthly meetings and track progress across three 2.5-month cycles.

  2. This guide presents the "MENTORS in CS" program, a comprehensive model for providing sustained support to K-12 computer science (CS) teachers, particularly those new to the field. It details the program's foundational structures, including mentor-mentee partnerships, a community of practice, and continuous research and refinement through design-based implementation research (DBIR). The guide offers actionable insights and reproducible resources, such as program timelines, recruitment materials, and a mentor toolkit, to facilitate the replication and scaling of similar equity-driven mentoring initiatives. Key learnings regarding participant outcomes, mentor training, and adapting the program for diverse educational contexts are shared to aid widespread dissemination and impact.
