If she is not comfortable coming to me with questions, I will struggle to find ways to support her because I will not know what she needs. I will do what I can to build a trusting relationship by being open, honest, and available for her to come to me with any question, concern, or suggestion she may have. ]]> 2023-07-25 22:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2651101044 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2651101449 It is important for my new teacher to trust in me as much as I need to trust in her. I think trust needs to be mutual for the relationship to work like a collaborative team. I will be in the same building as my mentee and it is important to me that we stay on the same page and trust that we will do what is best for our relationship as co-workers as well as what is best for the students. ]]> 2023-07-25 22:59:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2651101449 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2651110119 I really like Jennifer Abrams break down of trust. Turning it into 4 different components really made me think about how I am doing in those areas and what I can do to make improvements in my daily interactions during the school year. ]]> 2023-07-25 23:28:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2651110119 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653177697 Before even talking about school, I plan to make a personal connection with our new teacher. This is not only his first year teaching, but he is also new to our community. I want to get to know his hobbies, interests, and dislikes and connect to those on a personal level to build a trusting relationship. Do we know people in common, do we have any common interests, do we have any common dislikes? I will share what I know about the community - places to eat, a little background about programs or organizations, and more. Not only do I want him to feel more comfortable with working with me, but also as a member of our school and outside community. I feel that it is easier to build trust when the connection isn't just about the job and tasks. ]]> 2023-07-30 18:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653177697 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653178398 The working relationship I will have our first year teacher will be collaborative. I don't plan on just showing him the ropes and guiding his teaching. I would love for him to feel comfortable in sharing his new ideas with me. I want him to feel trusting that I have his back, am putting his needs first (during our time together and with my feedback), and that he can reach out with any type of question, idea, or request. I want to trust that he is doing his best, putting in the work as needed, and is able to be open to feedback and trying new strategies. ]]> 2023-07-30 19:01:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653178398 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653179078 We always talk about how to raise morale in schools. "Being trustful" always seems to come up, but not how to build that. Jennifer Abrams broke it down into four easy-to-understand areas. I shared this article with my principal, because I think it is worth adding into her weekly newsletter before school for everyone to get a quick refresher in. I quickly reflected on how I act and attend to others in each area and believe it would benefit all of my coworkers. 
Sign #2: Competence really got me reflecting. The first question asks "Do I believe in a colleague's ability and willingness to fulfill responsibilities effectively?" I can be a little to type A in my teaching team of 4. Sometimes I take on too many tasks because I have an idea in my head of how I think it would look and know I can do it, but then all of a sudden I have 10 ideas that I need to put into action and don't ask for help. I plan to let others take on leadership and creative roles on our team this year. ]]> 2023-07-30 19:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653179078 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653557803 2023-07-31 13:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653557803 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653559511 This trusting relationship is important for teacher success and student achievement.

The 4 critical techniques of a successful mentor are respect, competence, personal regard and integrity. I believe the number one trait a mentor needs to have towards their mentee is respect. Mutual respect is crucial for any relationship. Having the ability to trust the mentee is capable of performing the duties of their job is also difficult but important. If the applicant was offered the position, we need to trust their ability! Caring for others is a sign of respect. If you respect an individual, a relationship has a better chance of surviving difficult situations. Finally, not just talking the talk but implementing what is being suggested is very important for a successful relationship.]]> 2023-07-31 13:12:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653564109 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653580950 Creating a trusting relationship starts with open communication to build comfort & respect.

Actions speak louder than words and if they see the positive relationships, I have with other that will hopefully help them let their guard down. Then I will of course reassure them anything we talk about is private information. Conference logs will be shredded or given to the first-year teacher after the two years of mentoring is complete. ]]> 2023-07-31 16:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653652815 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653652962 Annie Skiba]]> 2023-07-31 16:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653652962 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653653161 I think it is important for my mentee to see that I truly care.

Someone needs to demonstrate all those pillars in order to be trustworthy. Personal regard is a fine line, because if you go too far, you will be stretching yourself too thin. That is something every teacher needs to be aware of. If you stretch yourself too much, you aren't helpful to anyone. ]]> 2023-07-31 16:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653654268 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653654565 In order for a person to grow personally or professionally they have to be able to trust the person helping them. Respect and trust go hand in hand. If a person doesn't trust you, they don't respect you, if they don't respect you, they won't take feedback or ideas from you. They have to know that as their mentor you want what is best for them, the students, and the school. ]]> 2023-07-31 16:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653654565 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653655356 If my mentee does not trust me, she will not come to me with questions and concerns.

I've always growing up learning that respect is earned. I feel like I show respect to all of my co-workers even when I disagree with a situation. When I reflect on competence it brings to mind the idea I tried to focus on last year when I was frustrated. Life is better when you believe everyone is doing their best. Most teachers are in this profession because they care about students and want to make a difference. If we can see that through all the chaos, then we are headed in the right direction. Personal regard, I sometimes take this one to far. I need to learn how to say no when my plate is overflowing. I try to the extras when I know someone is having a bad week, buy them a coffee or go to lunch with them, or stop by their classroom just to check in. ]]> 2023-07-31 16:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653658111 mgeist060 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653659186 I feel like a trusting relationship is key to building anything with someone. If you have a relationship that you don't create that bond and show them that you are someone they can trust it won't be a very good relationship or lasting. Your mentee needs to know that you are someone that they can go to and trust to go to when things arise.

Being respect- Of course! If you don't have that in any relationship you simply have nothing. 
2. Competence- This will help grow the trust factor. Believe in each other and the capabilities that one another can bring to the table. Don't talk down to the mentee- be sure that all voices are heard. 
3. Personal regard- Putting forth effort and giving grace. We are people first- not teachers. Everyone wants to feel loved and cared for. Creating time to hear about their interests/likes/concerns are all ways of getting to know them. Who doesn't like to be remembered on their birthday or receive a nice note/treat just because? There are so many ways to fill someone's bucket with kindness and compassion. 
4. Integrity: Do what is best for students always! This is why we do what we do- for our students. If it's right for students then it's right for the teacher/classroom/school/etc.

But the different aspects of trust go far beyond the casual. 1. Respect means to be actively involved.  Listen with your whole body/heart. Know that your fellow teacher is capable and will follow through with her/his responsibilities. Be courteous to colleagues.  2 .Competence really shows with collaboration.  Everyone brings ideas to the table.  We need to trust that our ideas have merit and will be used in our collaborative environments working towards mutual goals. 3. Personal Regard Care about the people you work with.  We work in a field where that is what we do on a daily basis with our students.  We need to incorporate this trait with our colleagues.  I often tell my students, I'm not a robot.  I'm a human being with feelings. Sometimes I have a bad day or need your understanding. My colleagues deserve the same consideration. 4. Integrity you must walk the talk so others around you know you are genuine and sincere.]]> 2023-07-31 16:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653665982 mgeist060 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653667976 The four vital signs of trust include respect, competence, personal regard, and integrity. 

Respect: Listening and understanding when others are speaking. Giving them my full attention instead of focusing on other things. 

Competence: Trusting them to complete certain tasks and supporting them while they are completing these tasks. Asking them questions that you know they are knowledgable about and you can gain some insight from them. 

Personal regard: Caring about the other person, asking how they are. Visiting with them after they come back after they have been sick or a family member has passed away. Visiting about their lives outside of school. Showing that you care about the other person. 

Integrity: Show others that you can be a very trustworthy person and will keep what they share with you confidential instead of sharing with others. Follow through with something if you say you are going to do something then complete it to show your integrity.

I agree that it is a simple, five letter word, yet it hold a complex meaning. I think trust is more about your actions and the things you don't say, more so than the things you say. To elaborate, trust is built through a series of actions: positive body language, following through on the things one said they would do, showing up on time and being fully present, etc. It is also the comments/ reactions that are not said that help build a trusting relationship. These things are the gossip with colleagues, drama in the school, eye rolls, etc. Compounded over time, trust is a series of actions kind acts.]]> 2023-07-31 22:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653769286 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653805467 Communication is the key.  Letting my mentee know that I will be available whenever, not just during that one hour a week we need to meet.  Respect is also a key.

The four concepts of trust really aren't "hard". They really describe just being a decent human being.

1.  Respect-Saying hello to everyone in the building and giving all adults respect.
2.  Competence-I trust my co-workers to do assigned tasks.
3.  Personal Regard- I care about others and what is going on in their lives. I ask questions and listen to what someone is telling me.
4.  Integrity-Am I working towards what is best for my school, students and staff.

I know I can continue to work on all 4 areas, but I also feel I am a trustworthy person at school that people can come to me for many different things.]]> 2023-08-01 04:24:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653949903 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2653959161 I really enjoyed this article. It made me look at trust differently than I have before. I liked how she split it into four different sections. It is a very good reminder on how you need all four of these aspects to have a trusting relationship and even if one is missing the trust could be broken. I feel like there are areas that I could be better at, such as showing colleges that I’m confident in the work they are doing.

I think the hardest sign at times can be competence. Many of the new teachers that have come into our program have little to no experience with the IEP and evaluation process. This is a big part of our job. At times I have found myself getting frustrated and sometimes it feels like it would be easier to just get the job done. However, I have to remember that I knew nothing my first year.

Trust and communication go hand in hand. One cannot establish trust without communication and communication is not effective without trust.

Respect addresses our human nature of belonging. When a person feels respected they feel "safe" where they are and in what they are doing. Acknowledging competency goes a step further in helping people develop that confidence, and carry that over into their teaching. Personal regard is important as it refers to the other 70% of our lives. Our careers are not meant to define our personal lives, but having proper support in personal regard can really impact our success and performance in our careers. Integrity leaks over on and off the field. Being a reliable person away from work and at work goes a long way.

I make it a point to express gratitude, give compliments, greet people etc., whenever I can. Also, showing it by putting time into people and valuing their time. Competence- It's been a learning curve for me to delegate. I wish I would have let other people take over certain things and lighten my load when I've had the chance. I have a little less stress when I ask for help and put my trust in others. Personal Regard- I like to be aware of others and show compassion when needed. If you know a little more about circumstances, and who the person actually is outside of their classroom, it can shed light on different situations. Integrity- if something comes up I'm flexible. I'm student centered and understand how important and influential my role is, so I do my best to do what's best for students, even if it's not what's easiest for me.

I feel as though these are all intertwined with one another. To truly support someone, all of these aspects are necessary. I think personal regard will be huge.

The first word, respect should always be a given. A relationship without respect will be lacking a part of its foundation. Another key I found interesting was personal regard.

So the 4 ways to assess trust were very interesting to me. Respect is a given that I think we all tie to trust. Competence made sense but was never a word I applied to trust. Personal regard was key to me. We are so quick to put why we lack trust/are unable to trust on what others are doing/not doing but the fact of the matter is, you have to put yourself, your personal regard into the equation as well in order for it to ever truly develop and grow.

When I am told something and want to know more, instead of asking more questions or "what do you mean", I use "tell me more" and go from there. Making open-ended statements such as that leads down interesting paths and doesn't seem so, I don't know...intrusive, pushy?]]> 2023-09-19 13:27:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2710837941 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2710848068 Establishing trusting relationships is the key to everything.

The way trust was broken down into 4 signs is spot on. I bookmarked it to share out to my team - thanks for the resource! 
As I read through each point, I reflected on my interactions and those I have seen from others in my early and current career. I thought about how undermining and character revealing displaying lack of trust is to everyone. Since my early years in education and having had bad experiences, I have tried to separate my relationships with others into 2 categories: personal and professional. I may not like one or the other, but, because I enjoy the other side, I try to remember what I appreciate during interactions. I think that is a part of trust. Trusting that although there are differences, we can still work together and trust each other to have good intentions.]]> 2023-09-19 14:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2710946778 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2710979580 The one thing that I think is super important to a trusting relationship is listening to understand not to respond. I utilized a method in a training this summer that had the person with the problem take 4 minutes to basically brain dump their issue and what they saw as potential solutions. Then the listener had 3 minutes to ask clarifying questions. Finally the listener had 4 minutes to brain dump what they had brainstormed as solutions and it was so helpful! ]]> 2023-09-19 14:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2710979580 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2710984133 In order for someone to feel comfortable seeking help they need to trust that person.

By taking the time to get to know each other, learning more about the other persons (likes/dislikes, strengths/areas for growth) you can start to find similarity and a commonality. When you've built a solid relationship up front you are able to tackle challenges and address more difficult topics/issues later on. ]]> 2023-09-20 19:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2713396734 https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2713400542 A trusting relationship is important because it's the glue that holds everything together as you move forward.

The article was spot on when it discussed how trust is a verb. It's an action. It's something we work to build each & every day. We need to be aware of the impact that it has (both positively & negatively) & really place value on ensuring we're working together to foster trust among our staff and team members. It's an absolute necessary component for us to have-because we need it to be at our best for our students. ]]> 2023-09-20 19:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2713404828 honeymj https://padlet.com/ndespb/dm451hrogj9elnv6/wish/2713859571 A trusting relationship is essential in getting the new teacher to talk about their struggles and their successes in their classrooms.
