Finding Time The Mentor’s Dilemma

You will see that you and your job will evolve throughout the year!!!

Predisposition Disequilibrium Transition Confidence Efficacy The Developing Mentor

Predisposition Seeks professional growth Desires to assist and nurture others Challenges self to improve Practices effective interpersonal skills Is open-minded and flexible.

Disequilibrium Applies skills of time management and organization Strengthens procedural knowledge Shifts professional paradigm from teaching students to teaching adults Has doubts, fears, and unclear expectations about mentoring roles Has little self-confidence as a mentor Experiences the “impostor phenomenon”

Transition Expands the understanding of mentoring roles Expands knowledge base and new vocabulary Develops individualized mentor strategies Develops better questioning skills Replaces personal agendas with the new teacher’s agenda Develops trusting relationship with colleagues Reflects on and clarifies personal philosophy and beliefs.

Confidence Understands job expectations Continues the development of mentoring strategies Refines listening and questioning Begins to dissociate from the protégé’s success Finds a renewed sense of professionalism that includes collaboration, collegiality, and articulation Trusts in his or her own beliefs Begins to advocate for beginning teachers.

Efficacy Develops a personal mentoring style Continues to reflect on and adjust multiple strategies Recognizes personal strengths as a mentor Makes emotional shift to detachment and minimal response Deepens the understanding of effective teaching Moves from intuitive to intentional practice.

Keep Your Eyes on the Real Picture

Previous Data taken from the District at a Glance Data Sheet

Go into mentoring with your eyes open!!!

Best Case Scenarios You will be paired with initial educators who are working in situations that match your past work experience. Reality – you will be paired in unique ways. Early education Elementary Middle School Special Ed Music to Math English to Bilingual to Immersion Or any combination imaginable

Best Case Scenarios You will start out with a complete listing of your 15 initial educators Reality – In January few of the current city wide mentors has a completed roster that is truly permanent

Best Case Scenarios You will have at each school –Resources –Embedded mentors –Supportive administrators –Stable initial educator schedules –Time in the initial educator schedules for them to meet with you regularly Reality – Every situation is different – imagine your first school (multiplied by 15)

Survival Strategies Budget Time for Research & Making Connections Be Flexible Support Each Other

Mentoring Strategies Collaborative Assessment Log Permission to make time for self Role play several situations Mentoring conversation protocol Prior Knowledge Continuum Professional Experience Prioritize needs Selective Scripting Proximity maps MPS Learning Targets Teaching Standards Content Standards Ideas for professional growth Opportunities for reflection Teacher release time I—C—F Framework Build relationship outside of school Interactive Journal Meet prior to school Give time management tips— prioritize, share load Tips to organize
