Great workshop yesterday...2 books were suggested about mentoring: Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean In" and John C. Maxwell's "Mentoring 101"

I'm assuming most retirees have more time to commit to new teachers, if they need it too! #ed635

[Leah Sams @SamsLeah]

I don't think age is a problem if the individual still has 'spunk' and willing to stay up to date on school missions and trends. #ed635

[Leah Sams @SamsLeah]

I think it could feel like it is evaluative or judgmental if both sides aren't 'in it' for the right reasons - growth! #ed635

[Leah Sams @SamsLeah]

@EdLdshpMSUM Mentor training and clear expectations for both side to agree upon. #ed635

[Leah Sams @SamsLeah]

@EdLdshpMSUM Purposeful reflection for the mentor and mentee would allow for accountability...and growth! #ed635

[Leah Sams @SamsLeah]

With our QComp system, we can use peer evaluators for 1 of the 3 required observations each year. Really beneficial! #ed635

[Leah Sams @SamsLeah]

I think it is beneficial to observe other teachers in the class for new strategies, new teacher or not. #ed635

[Leah Sams @SamsLeah]

A2: Instructional coaching should align with district initiatives/mission, which should be part of an induction/mentoring experience. #ed635

[Leah Sams @SamsLeah]

We currently utilize department leaders, which is compensated, but they are still not 'trained' in mentoring nor given direction. #ed635

[Leah Sams @SamsLeah]

@sara_streeter I know that our teachers felt like it was 'work' that wasn't being compensated...money. #ed635

[Leah Sams @SamsLeah]

@hidlink I think have mentors for new teachers allows for a common mission to continue through the disciplines, too!

[Leah Sams @SamsLeah]

@ame_324 I agree or it is a waste of time and energy.
#ed635

[Leah Sams @SamsLeah]

I think sometimes it depends on what area the new teacher is struggling in.
#ed635

[Leah Sams @SamsLeah]

We don't have a mentorship program under our current principal. We did 10+ years ago, but no direction was given as 'how' to mentor. #ed635
