Get out your mirrors...IT'S REFLECTION TIME!!!

You have had the opportunity to read, discuss, watch videos, and listen to speakers on what it means to be an excellent educator as well as be an effective mentor.  Discuss your strengths and challenges of being an effective mentor.  What are some "aha" moments you have learned this year?  How will you continue to grow as a mentor for all teachers in your building?

MARCIA! MARCIA! MARCIA!

WOW! What an awesome day of learning! Marcia Tate provided a wealth of strategies to share with your mentees and other teachers in your buildings! What strategies will you try in your classrooms/schools? What will you share with your mentees/colleagues? Did you have an "AHA" moment during your day with Marcia?

First Day Reflections!

You  survived your first Teacher Support Specialist Class! What are your thoughts as you reflect on being a mentor? Did your thinking change as we discussed the needs of new teachers?  How do you see your role as a mentor in your school?
