First of all, my team is fortunate to be able to follow your advice. Our lead mentor (or coach) is a teacher, and we have strong support in school because of that. But not all teams are so fortunate. Having a deep base of mentors is important so the teacher (or one person) is not forced to do everything. In my limited experience I have seen several teams fail because the teacher gets burned out and no other teacher want to take on the work.
