WINTER - YEAR ONE
Administrators who support planned,
ongoing interactions between mentors and beginning
teachers are facilitating professional growth
opportunities for both individuals. Administrators
should encourage development and implementation of
action plans such as the following. |
|
• Review/discuss CCT. What do the standards look like in the
classroom? Do self-assessments to identify areas that need
support.
• Begin weekly or biweekly coaching for effective teaching
practice, using “Conversation Points” to shift focus of
conversations from procedural to instructional issues.
• Continue observations.
• Practice videotaping and analyzing tape. (Mentor may model
reflection by videotaping his or her own
class and analyzing instruction and student learning with
beginning teacher.)
• Review mid-term procedures and procedures for snow days.
• Access the BEST online learning units together. Use
strategies from the “Mentor Corner” and discuss
the activities and follow-up learning opportunities.
• Register for CSDE BEST regional spring seminar.
• Set small goals, celebrate their achievement, and set new
ones. |
