Lead Mentor Closing Message
2017-2018
A Summer Salutation
I hope you are all ending the year on a positive note! It has been a pleasure working with you this year and I know your teachers appreciate your hard work. I know the work of the Lead Mentor is an additional duty to everything else you already do, so I greatly appreciate how many of you have put in the effort to strengthen or build your school-based induction program.
As you head into summer, I wanted to be sure to send you some information and “save the dates” for the 2018-2019 school year.
Great Beginnings, Summer 2018
Lead Mentor Face-to-Face Meetings
2018-2019 Lead Mentor and Mentor Canvas Courses
We will have new Canvas courses for the 2018-2019 school year for Lead Mentors and mentors. Expect a course invitation within the next few weeks. All of the information for the new school year will come through that course and the 2017-2018 Lead Mentor and Mentor courses will be disabled. If there is anything in particular you would like to save from the 2017-2018 courses, please make your own personal copies, as the courses will no longer be available as of June 30.
We will also be using Big Blue Button within the Canvas course to continue our virtual meetings next year, but the schedule has not yet been set. I am using your feedback to structure these meetings and I will post a schedule in the 2018-2019 course as soon as it is complete.
Thank you!
Again, thank you for an incredible year! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns, as I will be working all summer. If you know you will no longer be responsible for the school-based induction program for the 2018-2019 school year, please let me know.
Enjoy your summer and I look forward to working with you next year!
