In episode 2 of Get ConnectED the topic of Graduate induction, mentoring and coaching is raised.
Mentoring in general is a relationship between a more experienced mentor and less experienced mentee –
It’s about learning from an expert and gaining knowledge from his or her experience & often occurs during transition to a new career stage or role.
Any induction or mentoring needs to connect graduate teachers with more experienced teachers & also with other graduate teachers.
One size does not fit all, thus the induction process needs to be customised to suit the needs of the graduate teacher in each localised school context.
Mentoring does not have to be limited to one person or one mentor. In fact, the more collaboration & interactions with others the better.
Really teaching is both an individual event and a team sport,
though quite often it feels like you are on your own and that’s tough
Mentoring and coaching -It's critical to the first few years of teaching, but let’s extend it.
The key to mentoring & coaching is about having support and getting connectED
Teaching is challenging
Even more challenging on your own.
So, let’s be here for each other.
Together we are stronger.
