Mentor Forum #2 was held at Wahiawa Middle School on Thursday, December 2nd. Research has shown that the Winter months are especially difficult times for new teachers so we focused on ways to pick them up and energize them. The "FISH" Philosophy was shared: Be There! Make Their Day! Choose your Attitude! and Play! are concepts that help boost morale and make one's job fun!
In addition, Mentors practiced Mentor Conversations for: Paraphrase, Pause, Probe and conversed on issues they face in their Mentoring.
A great day was had by all. Mahalo to everyone who showed up, to those who brought delicious snacks (we would LOVE the Blueberry Mochi recipe) and to Wahiawa Middle for hosting. Next forum is in the Spring.
