Mentors understood the culture of the program they were supporting so both individuals came in with similar perspectives.

Someone said their mentor did not like them :(. Mentee should never feel like their mentor is judging them or is not their to support them, whether they like them personally or not.

Sped job alike mentors attending mentee trainings.

use the monthly checklist or at least have it to review with mentee. there were lots of comments noting the mentee felt that would have been helpful.

36 experience mentees

Glow: Supports received we did well supporting the institutional piece at 92%,

however emotion and building supports came out with strong results

Grow: It appears mentors could get into mentee spaces more often, or maybe the mentee (not being a new teacher) didn't need as many observations... so it might be a grow but that is unclear since we don't know how the question was asked

SUPPORTS RECEIVED:

Glow there is a higher percentage of a mentor asking for input showing that the mentors VALUE the mentee's experience... this is also part of the relationship (between mentor/mentee) as well

Grow: culturally responsive and equitable practice was the lowest percentage for support.

Can we define that need "better" so mentors know how to approach that topic

Some of our SpEd mentees have multiple mentors. They may have a district BEST Mentor, a JAM, and also an EdSpec. Might we do a better job of communicating our roles and areas of expertise? Of course, multiple supports are wonderful, but I wonder if at times it can feel confusing or overwhelming.

Grow

Ways to streamline observation opportunities.

Reserving a sub process could be explained more in depth.

Once coordinated, those subs should not be bumped to another class in building.

Holly Moody, Deanna Millett, and Jeannie Chea

Glow:

1. Plenty of data, intervention, & institutional support

2. Mentors helping mentees stay on task and help reflect

3. We rock!! Overall mentees felt comfortable and helpful

Grow:

1. Mentor Observation

2. Listen to mentees suggestions

Growth:

1. Became a better listener

2. Got a better perspective of how being new to the position

3. Framing questions that are inclusive.

4. Learned to be persistent to ask specific questions

Goals:

1. Be more explicit with explaining practices.

2. Be better listeners

3. Allow for shared input.

Mentee comments about their mentors was a big GLOW:

Comments are uplifting and positive and speak to the topics that mentors are covering with their mentees.

"I liked having a guaranteed check in person at times so I didn't feel like I was going it alone, even if I thought I could go it alone"

"Having a go-to person I knew I could reach out to"

GROWS from mentees "If your mentor could have done anything differently"

making use of the release time as a priority, of the 12 comments 3 mentees mentioned wanting to use the release time

organizing meet-ups in advance

make it a point to provide feedback after an observation

more feedback

IDEA: a structured template for feedback with a quick way to provide information that is streamline for new to district teachers that is ROLE SPECIFIC or mentee category specific or specific to mentee's need for observation focus

Goals

Be sure mentors feel welcomed at the very beginning.

Glows: Relationship building went well. We are a vibe. I will miss her next year.

Grows: I need to get better at facilitating consistent logistics meetings. The program should require agendas, even though they are annoying, to ensure more of us are being consistent.

Goals: Next time I have a mentee, I will plan biweekly meetings with them to discuss weekly planning and building/district nuts and bolts.
