A5. Always be available!! They have so many questions and concerns. I found that this helps especially in the beginning of the year. Also constant feedback. #BmoreEdchat
A4. There are two mentors. Elementary and Middle. Monthly meetings, emails, texts, phone calls. Differentiation for 1st ,2nd and 3rd year. Celebrate the small wins. Daily checking #BmoreEdchat
A3. One characteristic for an effective mentor is someone that can listen to their teachers. Mentors wear many hats at least in my building. We need to take the time to listen to our teachers. We also need to ourselves in their shoes. We were once in their shoes . #BmoreEdchat
Mentors are important to help retain new teachers. Mentors are important because they help teachers get through the really tough times. For me itโs personal because my daughter is a second year teacher in the district. #BmoreEdchat
