The Mentor Hub is a public collection of tools, guidance, and resources curated and developed through the NSF-funded MENTORS in CS program. These materials reflect mentoring practices used to support computer science educators and are designed to foster productive mentor–mentee conversations, goal setting, and instructional growth.
The resources on this page are open to anyone interested in mentoring CS educators. They may be used independently or alongside local, state, or national mentoring efforts. Additional materials will be added over time as the program continues to learn from mentors and mentees in practice.
