Our first of four Foundations in Mentoring Class for Central District took place today. New Mentors learned about one another and gained important skills to work successfully with their new teachers. They especially enjoyed the role-playing activity to practice using mentoring language.
Kahikukala was happy to meet the new mentors and work with them. They're a great bunch and we're excited for a new year!!!!
Can't wait until our next Seminars in October!! Until then, use your Collab logs and talk Mentor Language!!!
Here's some comments from the participants:
- The role playing was really helpful, even though I didn't want to at first.
- I feel more comfortable now and am a little more confident to meet and help my mentees and how I can grow from this.
- Lots of great strategies! I am excited to share these with my mentees. The Phases of New Teacher was validating for me. I am also interested in PRAISE. But here's the million dollar question: How do you create intrinsic motivation? It's difficult to develop this in teens and sometimes even more difficult with adults who are "burnt out!"
- Fantastic Team!!! It's great to have leaders who are positive and work well together. Thank you in sharing your knowledge and experiences.
