The year was extremely busy with WASC, AP and 2 mentees. We got through and I feel like my guys have grown throughout the year!

Perhaps allow mentees to see actual Evidence of Practice Docs in their own drive ,

Also consider the Mentor and mentee Google Classroom mirror each other (as much as possible) so we can talk apples to apples 🍎

I don’t think anything needs to be added. There actually was more than enough.

Agree with Melissa regarding being as samecsite as candidate , as well as same grade level. What also worked well wax having a lead mentor to answer some of my questions! Thank you Carri !

Good learning experience for my Mentee and me. We covered a lot of territory! Loved working with her and getting to know her better!

# data[].attributes.body
Enjoyed working with my candidate. It was a busy year for both of us but it has been a positive experience for both.

# data[].attributes.body
What worked well is that my mentee was in the same school site and is my classroom neighbor. It's easy to check up on her and provide feedback.

By having my mentee assigned in the 2nd trimester of school really put her behind the process in this program. We were constantly playing catch up while moving forward at the same time.

Being prepared for year around mentees and mentors would be greatly appreciated, especially assigning mentees to mentors. Please remember next year around schools start July 8, 2024. Also, are mentors keeping their current mentees for the next school year?

I never used GoReact because it did not work for me. The mentor google classroom and the candidate google classroom (even between 1st years and 2nd years) were all different which made it hard to track. Clarity, especially in the beginning of the year because it felt really rushed and very overwhelming to understand all the expectations of this induction program. Timeliness of uploading, and efficiency in our meetings would be greatly appreciated.

# data[].attributes.body
If induction could begin earlier, like when the traditional school year begins, that would be most ideal.

# data[].attributes.body
Loved meeting with my mentees each week and providing feedback to them. I also really enjoyed lesson planning with them and then observations with feedback. I found those times to be very effective and valid.

# data[].attributes.body
The year went well. A couple hiccups here and there, but we were able to finish as well as we could.

# data[].attributes.body
Please don’t add a thing - I finally have it down and there is enough information and choice in Google Classroom so that any change would… confuse me. 😊

# data[].attributes.body
I also had a hard time remembering to complete the mentor log form. We meet every Friday for at least an hour, but at the end of the hour, it was hard for me to remember to log it before I ran off to a busy weekend. I’ll work on it!

My candidate says she’s wanted this job all her life - this is her dream job and it was just so wonderful to be around that positivity. I guess it was also a reminder to myself to be more positive!

My year went okay. My mentee is so positive and great to be around, but I took on all the ELD at my school, with 6 periods of classes. Needless to say, I was having a little trouble juggling, but the mentor part of it was gratifying.

Go react was a bit confusing.

I truly enjoyed the zoom meetings.

Her motivation was so exciting. It is always so refreshing to see her enthusiasm and creativity. The Mentor meetings were great on zoom.

I had a wonderful year mentoring. My mentee was amazing and I looked forward to meeting with her every week.

I struggled with GoReact. I can see the usefulness of the idea behind it, but the actual site was difficult for me to get into and my uploading took ages.

# data[].attributes.body
I would not add anything!

# data[].attributes.body
I truly enjoyed my morning meetings with my candidate who I met with each Friday AM. It was a nice way to end each week with coffee and great conversation.

# data[].attributes.body
It was honestly a challenging year time wise! It felt like we were always working around things that came up and shortages on time. Both my candidates and I are heavily involved in campus activities, but we made it work. It helps to enjoy the people you are working with.

I had a hard time remembering to complete the activity log form. Maybe a different format for logging meetings?

I loved the meetings on Zoom with the option for makeup links. I had many ASB activities after school so I missed calls but could make them up!

More timely updates in Google Classroom.

I don't see a need to add anything else.

I think there is plenty for Mentors to do already no need to add anything. Especially for mentors that have more than one candidate.

My candidates were very self-motivated and self-sufficient in completing their activities and assignments.

Maybe have a mentor training date before we start to help new mentors navigate the Mentor Google Classroom. I trained two new mentors and explained how to setup shared drives, gave suggestions how to organize materials, explained how to use the tools, guided them in what to discuss with their candidates, etc.

Most of my candidates were able to be very reflective. They were able to discuss with me their challenges and then we were able to, together, come up with an action plan.

Mentor GC and Candidate GC should mirror each other, so that the mentor can be sure to not miss anything (EOY items)

It would improve candidate's experience if mentors have only one mentor especially if the mentor is new.

Can the Evidences of Practice be aligned to CVUSD Areas of Emphasis ? Candidates need to be immersed in what they will be evaluated on by their employer the Induction Program should align.

Some sort of prepopulated form to log meetings with mentor easier

Some type of scaffold for the first year Induction Candidates.

I think we should do more breakout collaborative sessions so we can have informal discussions.

This year seemed to go really fast. Amanda was at a different school site than her candidates and felt that was more of a challenge. Bridgette shared that one of the classes she was supporting as the special education teacher has not had a teacher for the past four months so that has been consuming most of her time, and made things difficult.

More clarity and a streamlined format for Mentor Assignments (such as the GoReact and ILP)
