Guiding New Teachers Every Step of the Way -- At Killeen ISD, we believe teacher success starts with strong support. That’s why every new educator is paired with a dedicated mentor during their first year, ensuring they have the guidance and encouragement needed to thrive.
A Strong Support System -- Our mentorship program fosters a collaborative culture where new teachers feel comfortable asking questions and receiving expert advice. KISD educators benefit from:
- One-on-one mentorship

Cameron Stewart, a Killeen ISD educator, offers this advice to first-year teachers:
"Never hesitate to ask for help. Your support system—including administrators, mentor teachers, and experienced colleagues—is here to assist you. When we embrace teamwork and collaboration, we create the best learning experience for our students."
In addition, first-year teachers and new principal designees receive extra guidance to help them build confidence and succeed in their roles.
