Description
The Beginning Teacher Induction and Mentoring grant will utilize Mentoring Texas, 3- day research-based foundational training, based on the mentor training model of The New Teacher Center in California that focuses on the knowledge, skills, and understandings that are critical for those who work with beginning teachers. The heart of good mentoring is to respond to each new teacher’s developmental and contextual needs and to promote the ongoing examination of classroom practice. Key concepts included in this training are: creating a vision of quality teaching, defining mentoring roles, identifying new teachers’ needs, understanding the attitudinal phases of new teacher development, building an effective mentoring relationship, differentiating support, developing the language and behavior of support, and assessing the beginning teacher’s level of practice.
