Mentor teachers should visit the TU Mentor Orientation and Resource Center for full instructions on how to use Watermark.
TU’s College of Education uses Watermark as a comprehensive online data management system for all activities in programs leading to certification for teachers or other school personnel. Teacher candidates create and submit key assignments online, create electronic portfolios, and keep records of their field experience work and internship experiences. The mentor teacher will need to use Watermark to approve the intern’s internship hours and to submit evaluations of the intern’s practice at various points during the semester.
