I am interested (and I think my mentee would be also interested) in involving parents in our school`s activities. Another interest of mine is to know the soul of each child in order to find out the very specific ways to help each over to become who he or she is.

The main problems in teaching students are : 1. Choosing the best textbook, according to their level and second, finding attractive methods to raise their interest.

# data[].attributes.body
1. What are your goals?

2. Do you want to complete formal education with non-formal, permanently?

# data[].attributes.body
I think the 2 first problem would be, even if I am not yet a mentor:
What are his/ her priorities? The relationship with the students or teaching method, technologies....?

# data[].attributes.body
How to select proper methods and strategies for a lesson in order to be efficient and to touch all the goals?
How to combine modern methods with traditional ones in order to help pupils to understand and learn easier the topics?

A problem in the educational process is the combination of didactic methods and procedures, in order to achieve a solid didactic strategy, both within learning situations and throughout a whole tinpicking period.

How to make their pupils happier and active and how to capture their attention?

How to alternate all three teaching methods : Traditional teaching, digital teaching and learning outdoor teaching?

How and in what way  it can use techniques to develop critical thinking?

# data[].attributes.body
First problem zould be how to manage the relation with parents and be an efficient teacher

# data[].attributes.body
I think that a fundamental problem is to involve the parents in the educational process. They must participate effectively to the life school  by supporting their children to be  as good  as they can be, motivating and supporting them during the educational process.

# data[].attributes.body
how could we use technology to create monitoring activities during the month involving parents  and students

how can we involve students in creating driving questions to analyze important aspects of the subject we teach  and asking them to look for interesting tools to be used to produce useful materials to be shared

how could we create interesting activities to involve students with weak motivation

# data[].attributes.body
A fundamental problem for me is children with special needs.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not a mentor, but as a teacher of pedagogy, my colleagues ask for my support. The most common questions were: How do we work better with students' parents? What projects would fit in to actively involve pupils both in the learning process and in the evaluation process? How to use information technology in teaching activity knowing that students are attracted to it?
Creating or engaging in cross-curricular cross-curricular educational projects is an effective way for a mentor to involve young teachers and find answers to all questions. Collaboration within a project can lead to informal mentoring.

The example given by Rachel in section 2.1. is an excellent and inspiring idea.

I would like to develop a collaborative project with my mentee on digital literacy and reading literacy by applying augmented reality to a book, more specifically, "Vinte horas de Liteira” (Twenty Hours of Liteira), a well-known text written by Camilo Castelo Branco, the Portuguese romantic writer who gave the name to my school. The writer is included in the curriculum of Portuguese literature and the date of his birth (April 16) is a very important cultural event for our school / Community. Every year, on that date, we celebrate the event with the publication of one more volume of the school’ magazine: "Boletim Cultural".

If my mentee was interested, I would use Aurasma app, a augmented reality App which would allow us to add appealing digital information to materials printed on paper and / or placed online. We could investigate a question about how to apply the augmented reality (AR) to a book?

How can we create effective groups of students for collaborative learning?

The success of this is directly connectsd with the relationship we establish: mentee and mentor.

# data[].attributes.body
How to alternate all three teaching methods : Traditional teaching, digital teaching and learning outdoor teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is very important to establish a relationship based on trust between the mentor and the mentee. My mentees are usually interested in lesson planning and managing larger classes.

# data[].attributes.body
Collaboration is very important for teachers; we always need new ideas, new projects: I love collaborative conversation, I haven't got a mentee, but I have this kind of conversation at school, with my pupils

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is important sharing ideas and projects. Collaboration is very important for a good mentoring: have an open mind, the accept the innovative ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
What am I expected to do? What am I going to teach? What do I want my students to be able to do? What is my role going to be? What resources do I have? Which can I use? Are they attractive enough to motivate my students and get them involved? How do I get feedback from my students? How do I evaluate myself?

# data[].attributes.body
It is often difficult to be honest in a feedback situation, be it for the mentor or the mentee. For the mentee, it will be difficult to voice their concerns. For the mentor, it will be difficult to voice criticism as we often do not wish to discourage our mentees. On the other hand, I think we cannot always think about the mentee’s feeling as we are also responsible for the students our mentees get to teach. Therefore, I’d like to find out what works best with regard to developing a balance between support – criticism – honest.

# data[].attributes.body
I have not yet had the opportunity to be a mentor but one of the central issues is to create an environment of trust that promotes reflection and analysis of the problems that are identified as such.

# data[].attributes.body
Identifying together some areas means negotiating. As a mentor usually on time curriculum completion is important as well as class and time management, while as a mentee aspects of interest such as the use of technology, games and music to make the classes more attractive might me important. collaboration and communication should facilitate common interest

# data[].attributes.body
I haven’t had this opportunity to be a mentor in formal settings. To me, it would be meaningful to work with my mentee on classroom management and rapport with students. I hope my mentee would appreciate working on those issues.

# data[].attributes.body
An area that most mentees are interesting is how to make their pupils happier and active and how to capture their attention. Also how to make their pupils to become creative and ready for their future life in a society which changes very fast in many aspects.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't a collaboration but for me it is important learn to observe and listen to students. But for this we have to know ourselves

# data[].attributes.body
Main issues that I would like to disscuss with my mentor are:
- collaboration with parents
- usage of educational games in class
- ways of motivating students to give their best on classes
- homework: pros and conts

# data[].attributes.body
A topical issue for both the mentor and the mentor is to complete the curriculum. Could the educational games and software facilitate the acquisition of content and skills training? If so, which of these would be more effective? Would the materials created according to their vision or already existing on the market be more useful?
If creating their own virtual materials would be the answer, then a common project would be the very challenge: optimizing student purchases with creative software.

# data[].attributes.body
Collaboration between mentor and mentee is very important in order to work together in a new and motivating way. An individual work could be a problem for both. ollaborative conversations, sharing materials and ideas and problems can be positive.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that one of the more important area of interest in our society and school, is how to use and improve the tecnology in the classroom and how making better our work

# data[].attributes.body
One very important issue is involving parents in the entire educational process, especially parents of children endangered of drop-out or showing disruptive behavior. This shall be an on-going project and shall be divided into few smaller projects.

Here I share one of a possible problem: How to manage/guide multicultural classrooms.

I would discuss and reflect together, with my mentee, about the adoption of an intercultural point of vue.

I would propose to co-work observations, situations, practices, etc. together to create the best and positive working atmosphere within cultural (national) diverse classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
I think both mentee and mentor can cooperate, for instance, in the development of materials and in the organization of the program. It is true that the mentor has the experience, but probably the mentee has also some ideas or opinions about what they are seeing and the communication and comments can be of the highest interest.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned very much  from teaching materials that I found and advices.

Open lesson were very usefull for me.

It is important to interrelate with others to participate at courses, We all have much to learn from each others.

My mentee has repeatedly raised the issue of guaranteeing all students the educational success. This problem involves reasoning around learning activities and learning strategies. The project we could share is to put into practice some of our lessons in order to grasp the needs of our pupils and to enrich each other.
Another vital issue is evaluation. We both feel it fundamental. Another project to share would be to experiment with different methodologies and to create effective and simple tools to administer.

Feedback is also important here, but a good theoretical basis is added. The mentor first tells the theory, then shows an example, and only then the learner performs the task and receives feedback.

One the problem a new teacher may have is organizing one hour in the class. I think it would be interesting to make a schedule of “one hour”, and try to use it. Moreover, this problem can be face by other teachers, including me! So: trying to make a “timeline” of an hour. And then practicing it , and improving it.

I have never been a mentor, but, first of all, I would like to know the mentee’s projects, ideas and fears or anxieties. I think it is important to give some autonomy, instead of starting to make suggestions. Thus, I would provide my support to plan the syllabus. Then it would be interesting to understand his/her views about several things, such as, strategies to use in the classroom, ICT competences and activities to develop, the role of the students, how to promote their interest and motivation, students’ behaviour and projects to develop either in school or in the classroom

# data[].attributes.body
I with my mentee think that will be of primary interest to expand our knowledge on cooperative learning implemented to problem solving in the primary school.We face up to different theories of cooperative learning and choose the most suitable to the context of classroom.Two of cooperative learning tecniques we would like to experimented are: "Think-pair-share" proposed by prof.Lyman and the "reciprocal teaching by Brown and Palincsar.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, the most important thing nowadays is know how to use correctly the new technologies for learning and teaching of our students. They love ICT and they know how to use them, but not how to use it properly, so in my opinion this is  a good topic to work collaboratively with our mentees

# data[].attributes.body
The main questions / issues worth considering are:

I am not mentoring this year but there was one thing that surprised me a lot last year while mentoring. My mentee who had been teaching for about 10 years as a temporary teacher in many different schools in my area, did not know how to and to whom submit a document, a request, a project. She was not aware how the hierarchy works in a school and what to have a request, a project approved. Another surprise was that she was not computer literate. She worked with great difficulty on the computer from writing a paper to create a quiz for the students. Since then I consider as fundamental points to address: Procedures in the school and ICT.

A worthwhile collaborative project could be behaviour management strategies, mainly because there is not a one size fits all technique which works for all teachers or all classes.

By identifying
a class or pupil which would benefit from a new behaviour management strategy I think it's important that the trainee teacher feels as thought they can try new ideas and find what strategies might work for them (and they could be very different to the mentors own behaviour management strategies)
