Your first task

We are very excited to have so many wonderful teachers signing up for this session and we are very much looking forward to learning with you.

As your fist task, we would like you to spend a little time filling out this questionnaire.





This will help you consider some aspects of mentoring and give us some food for thought and discussion for the next few weeks.

We are looking forward to reading and discussing your responses.

Have a great weekend.

A great interview with a mentor


http://theamazingteacher.com/amazing-teacher-danielle-mizuta/

I have only recently come across The Amazing Teacher Podcast. Every episode I have listened to so far has a lot of relevance to #mentoring.
This however is definitely one you would find interesting and useful. Great conversation about how mentors can help young teachers avoid burnout and keep up their enthusiasm.


Danielle Mizuta is the State lead mentor with the Hawaii Department of Education Teacher Leadership Institute. (Find her on Twitter here.)
Let us know what you think.
