While I am new as an OTD Mentor, I have been out of the classroom for a few years. I can identify with the sentiment, "Shift from that of a classroom teacher to that of an EDUCATOR". (Shift from your niche to the bigger, broader view)

Ive been in the box, by being in one school for so long, by not being exposed to a global perspective in some aspects. Being a mentor will allow my perspective to go from in to out.

“What several mentors described as gaining a “global” perspective has implications for their vision of good schools, good teaching, and how to help teachers improve their practice” (p. 17).

Having had the opportunity to work with world language teachers has helped me develop a “global” perspective of what good (and not so good) teaching and learning looks like in the world language classroom. I am able to utilize the best practices I know and the ones I have discovered while working with teachers to continue supporting the incoming language teachers to enhance and improve their practice.

Being an outside has it's benefits and challenges. One benefits is the ability to see without the connections that can change your point of view. I really think you have a more honest point of view.
