SUMMARY:Mentor Training Workshop Introduction **IN PERSON** presented by Dr. Peter Osroff - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Our mentor training workshop will explore the most common challenges that new teachers face and provide new mentors with concrete and proven tools on how to effectively mentor/coach their proteges toward success! The tenure-process years are highly stressful for new teachers. Invariably\, new teachers struggle with lesson planning\, classroom management\, and navigating their school’s culture and politics. Addressing common questions that new teachers ask such as…When should I reach out to colleagues for help? When is it best to ask my principal for assistance? Will I look ineffective if I am having difficulty with a parent or student and I then ask for assistance? This workshop explores the inevitable challenges (ex. classroom management\, time management\, navigating the school culture\, etc.) of new teachers and how the mentor may assist them to meet them. The mentor helps new teachers build their confidence by reassuring them that every experienced teacher has overcome these same challenges…and\, they will too! To generalize…What are the best steps that new teachers may take to ensure their own career success as they build their students’ academic and social-emotional achievement? Let’s establish a plan to put this into practice today! Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.
