Lead Mentor Series Snapshot
Issue 4, December 2017
Happy Holidays!
As we continue our series this month, we are going to take a deeper look at tailoring our mentoring support with the inclusion of side-by-side peer observations and providing our mentors with ongoing professional development and support. The following questions will guide our work:
- What are the essential elements of opening up practice?
- How do you create a culture of collaboration between new teachers and their mentors?
- How can side-by-side observations serve as valuable professional learning opportunities for our mentors and their mentees?
- How do mentors receive regular feedback that supports their development?
Be sure to read our Talking Points articles below as we will continue to focus on the elements of high quality induction programs as well as some additional resources to support your work within your school-based induction programs.
