Description
CESA 9 staff will work with school leaders to build on local mentor/mentee activities to increase the instructional perspective of your mentor program. CESA 9 staff will also support district mentoring steering committees or teacher groups that want to improve the benefits of mentoring.
Annually, CESA 9 offers a foundation training for all Wisconsin mentors. This one day workshop gives participants an overview regarding needs of beginning teachers, observing and conferencing, holding crucial conversations, the ten teacher standards, the PDP, and linguistic skills training (active listening, paraphrasing, clarifying, etc.) This training provides support for mentors in their important role in working with beginning teachers, regardless of the local induction program.
