Enhancing Teacher Mentoring Practices: Workgroup Meeting Outcomes

On September 15, 2011, a teacher mentoring workgroup met to address key aspects of mentoring new teachers within HCPSS. Participants engaged in discussions aimed at understanding mentoring's significance, examining current practices, and brainstorming innovative approaches. The agenda included updates, activities like People Bingo, and reviews of instructional mentoring practices. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with participants appreciating the organization, content, and resources provided. Moving forward, small groups will identify workshop topics to further develop teacher leaders. The next meeting is scheduled for October 20.
