Summary

AB 2060 establishes the Experienced Mentor Teacher Stipend Program, paying qualified mentor teachers $3,000 for each student teacher they supervise during at least 500 hours of student teaching. The Commission on Teacher Credentialing will run the program, solicit applications from school districts, charter schools and county offices, and require those agencies to partner with approved teacher‑preparation programs. The goal is to strengthen teacher recruitment and retention by recognizing and supporting mentor teachers.
