The AEA13 Mentor/Induction Program,
"Journey to Excellence", is designed to prepare and support mentors as
they assist beginning teachers’ transition from the university to classroom
practice. Six days of training are held over two years for the mentor, four days
the first year and two days the second year. Using best teaching practices,
mentors are trained for their role of supporting and guiding beginning teachers.
Interactive and in-depth, the training also offers opportunities for mentors to
reflect on their own practice as they provide guidance to beginning teachers.
Mentors leave with a set of materials and skills designed to effectively
structure conversations about teaching practice. The AEA13 Mentor/Induction
Training and Support Program is facilitated by
Connie
Richardson, AEA13
consultant, and
Pat Shipley (ISEA SWUU director).
