This Video Library offers introductions to each month in the Mentoring in Action book, examples of purposeful mentoring conversations, and a variety of videos to support mentor training and novice teacher development. | |
Mindful Memos
These Memos are designed to support mentors and novice teachers in using the books, Mentoring in Action: Guiding, Sharing, and Reflecting and The First Years Matter: Becoming an Effective Teacher (2nd editions). Each memo includes videos, suggestions for that month, and ways to be more mindful. |

Group mentoring
Group mentoring is an opportunity to share ideas and solve problems beyond the usual one-one conversations. Groups can include mentors, novice teachers, and any teacher in the school who wants to learn and grow. |

Student Perspectives are important to enhancing teaching practices. We encourage the use of anonymous surveys and follow-up conversations with mentors and novices discussing how the data gathered can improve teaching practices. | |
District Action Plans are important to identify roles and responsibilities for mentors and ensure stakeholders will sustain mentor training and support for novices in years 1-3. |
