Beginning teachers enter their careers with varying degrees of skill in instructional design and delivery. Good mentors are willing to coach beginning teachers to improve their performance wherever their skill level. What can we do to prepare mentors and interns for this partnership?
The mentor training day will help mentors value description over interpretation in the coaching process; develop multiple methods of classroom observation; employ research-based frameworks as the basis for reflection; and refine their conferencing and feedback skills. At the foundation of any effective helping relationship is empathy.
The intern training day will help interns gain insight into teaching and learning strategies; employ research-based frameworks as the basis for reflection; and gain insight on how to get the most from the mentor partnership.
The third day will be partnership day for the teams to develop plans for the year.
*Cost for districts not participating in the School Improvement CoSer 506 is estimated at $380.
Lunch provided. All estimated costs are based on 20 participants. Costs will be adjusted once registration is closed.
