WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TEACHING
Are you interested in our New Teacher Mentorship Program? Glad you are. Great things are in store, and I am elated that you are interested in joining this program; I am excited to work with you!
The Goal:
My first year of teaching was very rewarding; however, it did not start that way. I felt like a fish out of water. What do I teach first? Am I supposed to be mean the first few weeks of school like everyone says? How should I set up my room? Which rules and consequences do I want to enforce?
Because many of my colleagues had years and even decades of experience, they sometimes spoke over my head and I simply felt overwhelmed. Teacher accountability, meetings, dealing with parents, grading papers, managing my classroom, planning engaging lessons was just a few things I had to manage. It wasn’t until my Coach (and Mentor) reached out to me, only then did the game change! I was now in the swing of things! She modeled lessons, aided with planning instruction, and provided much resources and support when I was in need. Because of this foundation, I was able to build upon it and it took me further than I could have imagined! That is what I want for you!
