The purpose of the UMTA is to refine and enhance the leadership skills and knowledge of highly qualified educators through training focused on interpersonal and communication skills, effective school practices, modeling, effective presentations, coaching, collaboration, and facilitation techniques.
The UMTA has trained over 1,000 teachers across the 40 school districts, charter schools and state-operated programs in Utah since 1986.
School districts utilize the expertise of mentor teachers in a variety of creative ways in order to expand, strengthen, and improve the quality of services to all students and strengthen local school district capabilities.
