Reading is one of the most important intellectual exercises that nothing can replace it. We must do everything to make children read more and more.

The biggest advantage of such a program is that the new employees are in someone's care and they have to ask for help, if needed. There is evidence that management wants to invest time and resources in their careers.

The mentor can tell in advance some of their experiences outside the classroom in school practice. So that the trainee feels that he or she can address his / her mentor in all other matters outside the classroom related to teaching.

Sharing with your mentee all the aspects around teaching (meetings, parents interviews, evaluation sessions, coffees with other colleagues, communications with other organisms to develop out of school activities, etc) and discuss with him/her the reasons and outcomes can help to get a wider view of the teching-learning process implications. My personal experience when mentoring is that a person is next to you while working at school that helps you reflect and discuss about your own practice and listen whats going on at university training programmes and in new approaches

By mentoring you become aware about each one of the actions that usually you sometimes do automatically because you are used to doing.

Roberto, España

One of the main issues is how to deal with problematic students. First identify which ones can have learning difficulties and what tools are better to use. Second, introduce the mentorre to the Orientation Department, who are able to help him/her with any specific question. And finally, offer the mentoree the materials I have as an example of the work he/she can develope.

A mentor and any teacher should be a model. Small details do count and students are really aware of them. We should try to show them models different from adults from other contexts. Making them find being an educated person appealing.

Daniela , Romania

daniela_orasanu — 2019-09-23 17:27:06 UTC

The mentor discusses with the newcomer any issues related to career, school discipline, student results, collaboration with other colleagues, parents and the local community.

Tanja, Croatia

2019-09-23 17:36:04 UTC

The mentor should encourage the mentee to discover and think critically, to make mistakes in work - they are necessary for growth. Friendly, open and honest relationship in new work challengest.
Constantly encourage the mentee to self-evaluate, and if not all goes well, give the opportunity to change the relationship, and even get a new mentor.

Pola, Greece

2019-09-23 17:57:41 UTC

a) Beyond the classroom means: Deal with parents, counselors and local community. Understand school hierarchies, duties and bureaucracy. Feel comfortable with the culture of the school and collaborate with colleagues and principals.
b) Support my mentee by making a "guiding tour" to the school, its history and its goals.

Mentoring is complementary to communication of any kind, knowledge in various fields of activity. It can be sustained by perseverance, motivation, objectives.

Meltem Akdeniz,Turkey

valuesmakingusvaluable — 2019-09-23 19:21:51 UTC

e.g. A mentee may need assistance or support in solving a problem with parents, school management or other colleagues. A mentor should encourage and be a model for the mentee to solve the problem in a realistic and constructive manner.

Jean

I think working with parents can be challenging and for beginning teachers especially it can be difficult if you are communicating about challenges that a child is facing. So I think if the mentor can provide advice and suggestions of how to conduct Parent Teacher meetings for the first time then this is very helpful. For example, the sandwich is a useful image - if there is an area where the child is having difficulty/ there is an issue then this should be in the middle of two positive pieces of feedback that the teacher is giving to the parent.

The mentee will need to talk to parents, collaborate with olleagues, comply with the work plan of the school, talk to the principal and sometimes contact higher administration officials. In all these aspects, he/she might need guidance from the mentor.

Rute Sobral, Portugal

rprs2013 — 2019-09-23 21:47:58 UTC

One of the main issues is how to deal with problematic students. Another issue are Parents... I I think that a mentor can provide advice and suggestions of how to conduct Parent/ Teacher meetings in the beggining..

MMiguel, PT

mgnaus — 2019-09-23 22:50:43 UTC

Important part of the traininship takes place inside classroom, however, the work done here can have a reflect / can be the reflect of what happen outside classroom.
This way, mentor should provide mentee with the opportunity to contact with parents (by attending and participate in parents meetings) and, whenever exists, also contact with external partners from school, initially guided by mentor but, and the training period, take part in this meetings in an independent way.
As mentioned in a previous padlet, mentor should help mentee to "find" the key persons inside school, since the training program should be understand as a global training.

Sharon, Australia

2019-09-23 23:08:57 UTC

in my setting some aspects of student engagement are directly linked to students' families and/or communities, linked to culture and language (where i work schools have high numbers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander students who speak dialects, creoles) it is important for mentors to build teacher understanding and awareness of the importance of building strong relationships with families/communities to support student engagement and learning, wellbeing.

Maria Giuseppa Sallemi, Italy

maria_sallemi5870 — 2019-09-24 04:32:54 UTC

A mentor plays a lot roles that is important to demonstrate. the mentor should encourage the mentee to solve the problem in a realistic way, to rehearse in what situation can find the mentee in anxiety so have to help in advance in which situation the mentee can find. The mentor to provide the best information of the school organization and have to able to share practice, and all it is useful to the mentee.

Daniel Dias - Portugal

Josip, Croatia

I think that it's really important to connect with local cultural and other institutions. It makes easier to organize different activities with local partners. So as mentor with experience I can help with connections not only in school.

Vilija, Lithuania

vilija_rakstiene — 2019-09-24 09:31:37 UTC

If a mentee is not afraid to ask the questions that concern him/her, I believe, all areas will be met feeling confidently and without any worries. The interaction is the main key in order to get the needed support.

Cristina, Bragança, Portugal

cmm_vaz — 2019-09-24 10:37:28 UTC

Vayia, Greece

2019-09-24 11:09:59 UTC

Building and developing a good relationship with the other colleagues is ,I think, very important. The mentor should be the link between the two "parts". A friendly and supportive environment helps you become better.

Pedro, Portugal

ettwinning — 2019-09-24 11:25:36 UTC

The mentor should be available to help the mentor feel good at school and with a focus on teaching. To do so, you should support them in solving bureaucratic and pedagogical problems that draw a lot of energy from the inexperienced teacher.

Angeliki, Greece

I work in a school for children with special needs, primarily children with severe symptoms of the autism spectrum. Among the biggest problems the teachers deal with are talking to parents and collaborate with the specialists, such as the logotherapists and the ergotherapists. My advice as a mentor would be to organize often meetings, set all together precise goals for every pupil and then inform the parents with more confidence about the progress of their child as a result of a true teamwork.

In my case there are a lot of inmigrants coming and going during the whole year. So, I would advice them how to get on with them and alo with the families of that boys, because it's difficult when they are not coming, or they don't know our language. So, I would help to deal with the protocol and laws related to this problem

Lidija, Croatia

lidijaantolic — 2019-09-24 14:13:57 UTC

Special educational needs, first parent teacher meeting. Mentee should read lots of books and attend different individual online education. Mentor can give advice where to find valuable information.

Vincent, Belgium

2019-09-24 14:28:06 UTC

First of all a mentor should introduce his mentee(s) to all the different persons in a school with which he will have to interact, such as the supporting services (like student administration, staff administration, persons responsible for finances, student counsel and IT-coordinators.

After this task its also important that he introduces his mentee(s) to all colleagues with which he has to work together.

What tot do with special need students? What to do at a first parent meeting? So there is a lot of stuff happening beyond the classroom

Cristina, Spain

2019-09-24 14:55:05 UTC

I would say how to deal with parents since sometimes essential tips are very welcomed. Also it would be important that the mentor introduced the staff and the colleagues s/he will have to work with.

Dragana, Serbia

2019-09-24 14:59:05 UTC

Mentor should always be available for all questions, teaching the student how to deal with various situations. In school it is important to be a good teacher, but it is very important to make god relations with kids :)

Patti, Italy

In my school there are several teachers who are mentors. There is the digital team; someone else meets parents; another teacher informs newcomers about the safety of the environments. Someone who talks to parents when there are problems.

Eleni, Greece

2019-09-24 15:39:19 UTC

From my experience, novice teachers have difficulties in their communication with parents. Advice and rehearsal of situations (e.g. managing an aggressive parent) can be very helpful. In addition, they need guidance on the administrative work of the school. Finally, to get acquainted to all the local services that can assist their work.

María, Spain

misshampts — 2019-09-24 16:43:45 UTC

In my school, first, I would explain how things work and to whom, he/she needs to refer to in case something happens or if he or she requires official documents such as the Educative Project and so on. The reason of it is because I am part of a Grouped Rural School, which means that we are four schools in four different towns but just in one of them, you can find the princiapl, chief of studies and secretary. In addition, I would give him/her some tips about how to deal with parents in certain situations and even, with violent kids of the school that may not attend to commands when they are angry.

Emy, Greece

Aitziber, Spain

aitzitv — 2019-09-24 17:03:13 UTC

In my opinion, beyond the class means that the new teacher must be informed of how the center works in general, how are the tutorials, the reception of parents, the registration of absences. Likewise of schedules of joint school activities that can be carried out and even advice on any problem in question.

The most important thing is the relationship between the mentor and the mentee. It would be good if a mentee knows that the mentor can stand by him/her, whenever is needed. This is of most important when a mentee has to deal with a crisis

Ela, Poland

2019-09-24 19:03:22 UTC

The "school environment" is a very important for young teacher. Because not only mentor is care provider. In my school are subject didactic teams and the new teacher can be part of them. It means that except mentor, other teachers can support mentee. In adittion there are local partnerships as centre of culture, library, parent- teacher association. But generally, the main role of the mentor is to be the " mother" / "father" of his "child" .

It is important that mentees get familiar with all the other roles / tasks a teacher will have at school. How to plan the syllabus, different activities, etc, how to be a tutor teacher, how to support students with learning disabilities, how to deal with parents, how to assess students properly, how to address disruptive behaviour... The list is endless and so support and guidance are truly needed.

Veselche, North Macedonia

2019-09-24 20:06:28 UTC

I would get to know my mentee with the whole school environment, basically I would explain how this school functions as whole. I would mention about some parents'/students' specific behaviour and consequently approach.

Ina, Croatia

sunshineshoot — 2019-09-24 20:20:02 UTC

In my school we work well with the local community: we participate in the work of environmental, cultural associations, etc. Mentees must learn about professional relationship with the students' parents as well as how to influence the behavior of students outside the school, such as how to act during a theater play etc.

A mentor should inform the mentee of the various upcoming events and practices in the school.

Eva, Spain.

Our school has vocational studies, so one of the tasks we have to carry out is to find businesses, factories , official institutions –Town Hall-where these students can develop their practice.So, that´s one issue , some of us,have to do.

Another one is usual meetings we have with parents to follow their children´s progress or problems or if we are tutors to deal with special situations they are going through.

It is quite important too , to show our mentee , how our school works :all the Internet means we have to communicate among ourselves or with parents, how to carry out everyday tasks.

Jelena - Lithuania

2019-09-25 06:08:07 UTC

Hello, everyone! I work in a non-formal education institution, so new teachers, especially those coming from schools, really need a lot of support, as requirements and goals are quite different. One of them is the fact that teachers are supposed to get much more involved in various community activities that are not directly related to their subjects, and a mentor's advice could be really helpful and could save a lot of time.

what I usually do with my new colleagues I support as a sort of mentor, is to make them familiar with the new setting at school and with the new environment. I try to make them familiar with all the project we have in our school, above all the project I coordinate and I know better. To make someone familiar with the knew environment means also to deal with parents , other colleagues, school staff but also with the most useful technologies and web tools, which can be used with our students during our learning and teaching process. I use to ask my mentees to join our eTwinning projects and the eTwinning community which can be very supportive for all teachers, not only the new beginning ones. I try to establish a good relationship with them, and try to understand their expectations and doubts.I try to help them overcame their fears by letting them know , they won't be judged and that we will collaborate and learn from each other

What you need is a buddy system. This buddy is someone (preferably the mentor) who can introduce the mentees to everyone within the school community. Not just the the other teachers but everyone they will come in contact with as a teacher. If the mentees need assistance with something in context to the school/teaching job they can be the reference point. The mentor might not always have the solution but can point out someone within the school community that can help.

Roberto Agostini - Italy

2019-09-25 19:08:14 UTC

In my school there are some things that are “beyond” that require explanations. First of all, I think it’s necessary make the mentees familiar with the new environment. So I start doing a tour. In this way the mentee can know the spaces (classrooms, laboratories, gym...). This tour is important because the architecture of my school confuses those who do not know it well. Another aspect that often worries new teachers is the intensive use of my ITCs for educational and organizational reasons. For this reason I devote particular attention to explaining the way in which digital resources are organized. Finally, another important element is to present the mentee to the various contacts and to illustrate the various projects in which the school is involved.

Tonka - Croatia

tonka_brailo — 2019-09-25 19:25:11 UTC

It is important for the mentee to become familiar with the tasks and role of the mentor in the school. Demonstrate ways to communicate with the principal, with the parents when we want to solve the problem. Involve mentee in projects implemented in collaboration with the local community.

Cerasela

2019-09-25 19:32:55 UTC

In these situations the mentor can help him to find new solutions or strategies to problems by sharing his own experiences, asking questions and analyzing situations from different perspectives.

2019-09-25 19:52:31 UTC

One thing mentee should learn is schools in general work and then how our school works. The first is necessary tasks, chores and responsibilities any teacher must have and the second has more to do with "reading" colleagues and situations and maintaining balance. Additionally, a mentee should be advised to and how to expand knowledge and perceptions, develop professionally, read widely and many more...

Dimitra - Greece

demetra60 — 2019-09-25 20:13:47 UTC

Οι νέοι δάσκαλοι πρέπει πρώτα να αισθάνονται ευπρόσδεκτοι στο νέο τους σχολείο, να μάθουν για τον τόπο και τον τρόπο λειτουργίας του σχολείου. Νιώστε ότι κάθε ερώτημα είναι αποδεκτό και θα είναι κάποιος εκεί για να απαντήσει και να βοηθήσει. Η βοήθεια του δασκάλου-μέντορα είναι ανεκτίμητη. Επίσης σημαντική είναι η βοήθεια και η καλή επικοινωνία με τους συναδέλφους τους.

Sunčica, Croatia

s_remenar — 2019-09-25 22:04:12 UTC

My mentee would probably need support on school staff relationship and tips on when to be cautious. Support would also be an advice who to ask for help in any situation needed. Special skills would need to be worked on in talking to the parents of our students and in that case I would use role playing with some examples from "real life" :D.

David, Portugal

2019-09-25 22:04:28 UTC

The mentor outside the classroom should integrate the mentee into the peer group at the cafe, lunch or day-to-day conversation.
In everyday life, at school, conversations are emerging in all contexts, making it easier to know and anticipate numerous situations.

Rosa Medeiros, Portugal (Azores)

rosa_medeiros11 — 2019-09-25 22:20:32 UTC

My school has always developed European, regional, school and classroom projects. There are departments that have the habit of working in teams.
It takes someone available to report and solve problems, as well as to streamline projects. It will be another school resource for building bridges.
The mentor's intervention will depend greatly on the school principal, as he or she will allocate the time for this task

The mentor can help the mentee become familiar with the school and with any institutions the school may have protocols with. In the early days or weeks, the mentor may be more present to assist in the integration into the school and community.

The mentor needs to help the mentee to know the code of conduct in the school, to give him an idea of the relationships with members of administrations, colleagues, parents and even with his out-of-class students. Give him examples of good conduct and accidents to avoid. Encourage him to create a favourable, friendly and respectable atmosphere with his entourage in the school because it will facilitate his task of teaching.

New teachers usually find it difficult to talk to parents with children that have low scores. So, a mentor should guide them about the way they should communicate with them.

Mentor is a mediator between mentee and school enviroment, even more - mentor often becomes a family friend or just friend to share moments in the opposite walls of school-life.

The mentor is a mediator between the school environment and the mentee. The mentor also help to design the curricula and to plan the activities. Sometimes the mentor becomes a friend who unites colleagues to work in teams to solve learning and teaching problems. assess the students progress during a period of time.

I can thing of many "beyond the classroom" areas where a mentee migh need some support: - communication with parents and how to handle "difficult parents" or "difficult childrens' parents"
- organization of activities such european programs, e-twinning, cultural events etc
- planning self trainning outside school
- school beurocracy & organisation matters
- bring mentee in contact with other collegeues of same/different schools

I work at a music conservatory, so, usually I involve the mentee on the school Plan of Extra curriculum Activities like Students Concerts, Teachers Concerts and masterclasses and ask them to propose 3 activities of their own. It´s the best way to give them visibility and involved them with all school community.

Being a teacher is not just teaching a group of students in a classroom a couple hours per week. Mentors should try to help new teachers with planning, time management, involvement in the school as an organisation and how to prepare for parent-teacher conferences etc.

It is important for the mentor become familiar with the school and be involved with the community in which the school is located and so should show the younger teacher that it is important to understand how students live to know how to teach them. On the other side, it's important the relation with all community and be envolved with the local activities.

I think you can support mentorees in different ways.

If you are a public servant you also need to learn how to

Carmina, Portugal

There is a huge problem in schools: Schools are loaded with bureaucracy, and being able to deal with it all is an enormous task, even more if you are entering the system. So this is essential to work with your mentee. Furthermore, there is the need to help the mentee look to a student and see the person he/she has inside the classroom. This is something I find extremely important, whish is to try to understand the context where that student comes from and try to help him/her fit in, learn, establish a relationship with the teacher, and this needs to be developed.

Lucia Italy

The true mentor always indicates the best to those who rely on him and in a particular way never mind even if what he has to say can be difficult, uncomfortable but it is always with the look and the heart focused on the good of those who rely on him: this is the real delicate aspect to be faced in the School !!

I think there are some other important areas which have to be taken into account in the learning process, not only the academic ones inside the classroom. Everything which has to do with the students¨ background, plays an important role in the process :family , social-economic position, relationships, etc
If we are able to cope with all these factors at a time, we´ll succeed , without any doubt

A difficult area is working with parents, other colleagues and the authorities of the school. Another problematic area is how each establishment works.

At my school, new teachers come every year, because we are in an isolated region. I consider the work of adapting a new teacher to the new school is important, not only in organizational terms but also to the extent that the mentee knows about the specific context of the school (the social and economic level of families, the difficulties of the students, the way class councils work...) in addition to the support that is needed to better adapt the mentee to a new school reality. Knowing how to get into the spirit of the new school is essential ...

What mentees need in my school (and mentors too) by Emma

MENTORING BEYOUN THE CLASSROOM IN MY SCHOOL

My school is experiencing a period of transition to multiple organizational and cultural levels: it is in a stable situation of instability.

There is much to build and great commitment to find your way around the thousand problems and daily stops. We are all very sensitive and meeting each other is difficult. Meet in the sense of stopping to design, reflect, build basic meanings and practices that can become routine. Archived materials are also difficult to find.

The mentees need to know the organization with roles and ways of communicating.

They need to be supported to organize the contents, the ways and the value to be given to communications that are not always clear especially for those who have just arrived.

The situation of my school forces me to make choices. It is therefore necessary to provide an indication of priority also on planning, programming and specific interventions so as not to invest resources that can be wasted. Time, energy and planning resources.

In addition to this organizational situation, my school experiences a period in which there is a strong need to find effective strategies with families to define roles and tasks as well as possible expectations or not.

Finally, mentees need to learn to find the most effective personal strategies for developing resilience and maintaining a positive distance in relationships.

If these goals are built, a more serene climate is also developed, an organized reticular way more able to integrate even new colleagues and, last but not least, good humor.

Having mentored foreign teachers, for me mentoring beyond the classroom has a lot to do with social life too. Of course the integration in school life involves all the procedures around school organization, parents and outside partners, but mostly it revolves around making people feel at home and cared for. It can mean going for lunch with a group of teachers or participating an event that involves a local partner.

Asimina, Greece

Every school has its own philosophy and culture and there is no meaning of waiting a new teacher to find out by him/herself. The mentor has to introduce him/her to the school's philosophy. Moreover a mentee has to learn all the aspects that are behind the scene. Such as relationship with parents and colleagues or even the dress code .

Silvia, italy

silvia_lolli — 2019-09-28 18:20:05 UTC

Mentor help mentee not only in the classroom work, but in other situations: best relationship with parents and students beyond classroom (in Italy many times we watch also aggressive relations by parents against some teachers, but also with young students), in which must emerge a professional role: knowledges, skills about contents and communication. Mentor help, with listening, discussion and his/her model role, mentee to talk with school people and with other school's communities. Expertise of mentor is fundamental for these relationship.

Alexandros Barmpas, Athens, Greece

alexandrosbarbas2 — 2019-09-28 19:30:42 UTC

One thing that “beyond” the classroom means in my own school context is the communication with the local municipal authority about its environmental programs and student participation in those programs. Usually, a teacher takes over the communication with the organization as extra-curricular work. This teacher selects several students to participate in this activity. Thus mentor's work could be to inform and guide the teacher on the whole project.

The teacher could, in collaboration with the mentor, prepare some questions for his/her visit to the organization. The mentor could also help the teacher to choose students for the program and find the appropriate time to engage students with that activity.

Anna Athanasopoulou, Athens, Greece

athanasopoulou68 — 2019-09-28 20:02:41 UTC

The school I teach is in a degraded area with families of students facing financial problems. So for parents and students the school is like a second family since parents want teachers to have many roles such as educator and pastor. The philosophy of our school is to support students and inform colleagues and parents about students' learning and behavioral problem.

Mentor should urge new teachers be close to students and record their problems and weaknesses. This will help mentee to a) properly inform colleagues and parents, b) have constant communication with the parents by telephone, email, etc, c) feel safe and without hesitation, d) ask the opinion of his colleagues and his mentor.

Mentoring beyond the classroom can include working with colleagues to plan curricula, participating in staff meetings, meeting and discussing with parents, dealing with conflict, managing challenging behaviour, interacting with staff in the staff room. Supporting the mended might include sitting in on initial meetings with them, checking in with them before and after meetings, role-playing challenging conversations, suggesting resources or professional development that may help them to address these areas.

Kathi, Austria

zdarsky_phst — 2019-09-29 04:08:21 UTC

Apart from key topics of schools, such as ICT and / or Erasmus +, I think it is important to point teachers to their duties as well. Many are often unaware of a teacher's demand. Staff meetings are part of teacher's everyday life too. However, I have heard from some colleagues that young teachers often take the right to just go home and leave everything there. Partially they take out rights that are unjustified. I think it is very important that fledgling teachers are already aware of their duties - apart from their pedagogical work in class. After all, school is not just staying in class. There's a lot of work to do outside the classroom too. This awareness-raising is very challenging to mentors and principals.

Giannais, Germany

A mentor should correctly guide the mentee about issues beyond the class. My school is an international one and there are important aspects for our daily function like the daily routine, duties, meetings, parent meeting, hierarchy, student´s evaluation, team meeting and collaborative time within the team. All these information should be given from a mentor, who will urge the mentee to the new setting. Giving the fundamental ground for a new educational structure.

Mentoring is based on mutual good relations if we want this issue to work. Mentees, especially the new ones, do not only the need guidance, help and support in teaching. They need help on how to cope with their colleagues, with students with problems, with issues like bullying, diversity, discrimination etc.

Lúcia Santos, Portugal

luciampsantos — 2019-09-29 14:47:47 UTC

A good mentor should have in mind that teaching is so much more than performing a role in a classroom full of students. In their performance we have to have in mind the teacher also needs a healthy relationship with colleges, the board, parents and students.

Irena, Croatia

irena_phd — 2019-09-29 15:00:16 UTC

In our context it would include mentoring on all the new ways CPD now works in our country (a simple 'show and tell' should do), and on finding common language with other teachers in school. Sharing mentor's personal insight can be very helpful with that but the mentor has to be careful not to impose his personal opinions on the mentee.

Paola, Italy

2019-09-29 15:02:06 UTC

A new teacher needs to: get to know all the people who hold a role, explanations of the organization of the offices, which every year changes personnel and roles, relationships with parents, documentation for students, equipment for teaching: where they are, how they work, what can be used freely and what not, institute regulations and how students and classes can be available.

Agnese from Italy

zanguike — 2019-09-29 15:46:40 UTC

In Italy we have to be mentor for new teachers and also for students coming from the university. In the first case, mentee can be a person who has been working in the school for several years. Be a mentor for this kind of "new teachers" is a very big challenge because they develope a kind of routine in their teaching method. Sometimes they don't know anything about new methods of teaching and we must be a very good mentor and create an excellent relationship with them...it's not easy at all. A good thing is that...they can already know about who to talk to or the procedures. Students are easier to involve. They are more motivated!

Carla, Italy

2019-09-29 16:03:01 UTC

It is difficult to say what beyond the class may mean, but a mentee will surely need support to face the procedural demands such as writing curriculums for the year, but also to fit in the school organization,i.e. taking part in projects and commissions. The best way is to work together, collaborate and discuss the different issues. A big part could also be help him/her witj teachers'meeting and Parents-teachers session: in these cases practical tips may be useful as well as a more general approach.

Elena, Spain

2019-09-29 16:33:18 UTC

Mentees should be aware that there is a hierarchy outside the classroom. The mentor should show the mentee who to go to in case of need; the principal, the head of studies, the secretary...
Working with the School psychologist and social worker is really important in a School like mine. Looking for guidance from class tutors is vital to be effective in the classroom. Feedback from colleagues is essential. The mentor should help the mentee interact with staff members.
Last, but not least, mentors should offer guidance preparing for parents meetings, which can be stressful for teachers with or whithout experience.

Teo Greece

tavdelli — 2019-09-29 16:35:55 UTC

A new teacher in Greece, might need to know how he/she can communicate with parents, NGO, local authorities etc

2019-09-29 16:52:25 UTC

First and foremost, they might have to talk to parents regarding the students' performance and behaviour . They would likely have to set regular meetings with the parents and keep them informed about absences. This would require going through all the documents that need to be handled as well as some discussion on the possible situations the mentee would be faced with and the type of questions and doubts parents might bring in.
Secondly, because our school offers two different curriculi , he would also have to become familair with the both, in case he needs to give information to a parent or any other stakeholder.
Rolemodelling would be important and helpful in that he would become familair with the school's procedures and requirements .

Manuela Correia, Portugal

musicadc — 2019-09-29 18:37:50 UTC

Mentoring beyond the classroom can also be, for example, pointing where to find new resources, apps or tools and show the mentee how to use these resources in a meaningful way.
I've never been a mentor, at least not 'officially'. That doesn't mean I've never mentored other colleagues in a broader sense of the word.
Over the years I've helped many many colleagues, showed them what I do, how I do it and why, pointed where they can find resources or how to create their own materials.
It's important to create a chain and let the mentees see they're not alone!

Garali, Netherlands

Like I mentioned before in this cource, "eduction is developing evrytime", meaning education this day can be very diffrent in the future. The technology in education is taking a big role in the future in my opinion, what leads to be very critical of types of giving education, judge the information on the level of education and make education understandable for your mentees and students using that kind of education. Being open minded is a thing a mentor should teach the mentees to be for them selves, but also for the students to teach.

I’ve been teaching for almost 30 years and even though I love what I do, I sometimes feel I lack the motivation and energy I once had. And I think it’s not just an age problem: in Portugal (maybe elsewhere, too), teachers are over-burdened with administrative tasks that are time-consuming and not rewarding, I mean, what I really like is teaching and that time - hours wasted with bureaucratic stuff – should be invested, for example, in planning, in developing materials. Insofar, the school should allocate time so that mentors can be available to support a mentee in everything and that includes managing the curricula, assessment criteria, planning and preparing resources and test structure, participating in meetings (with parents or staff), problem-solving techniques and strategies, how to get involved in projects like etwinning and/or Erasmus+. Mentoring beyond the classroom may even include suggesting opportunities for professional development and lifelong learning, or associations of language teachers. For example, the Portuguese APPI – the Portuguese Association of English Teachers) embraces language teachers of all levels, provides TDC and organises conferences, seminars, webinars and workshops.

2019-09-29 20:02:23 UTC

It is an absolutely individual matter for the mentor himself and his approach. The role of the mentor should be to introduce a new colleague to the work of the whole school, the collective, and the school system itself, down to the smallest details regarding school administration. Basically, it all comes down to formally taking on the duties of a mentor and "letting go" of a new teacher.

P. Valer

2019-09-29 20:57:31 UTC

Beyond the classroom , for me means the school comunity, meaning the rest of teachers, departments, head teachers, psycologist and advisers. Of course, it must include students individually and their families, relationships with outside school representatives and so on. I think the mentor should be a role model for the new teacher in all these cases, but a role model as in just one way of doing it, not the only way.

For instance the good relationship between students parents and teachers. If these three legs of the table are strong, the co-learning is easier.

In my school context, a mentee could require support in getting to the not only the pupils and their needs, but also the parents and their needs. Besides that, the mentee could need help in understanding the curriculum reform our country is implementing, both frontally (in all Croatian schools), and experimentally (in our and some more schools).
I can support the mentee by inviting him/her onto educational seminars/webinars about our reform, and by the mentee talking to a school educator about the parents' needs.

I have never been a mentor but during a lot of year our school had receives new colleagues in my group of work I had to explain them, every year, how the things work in our school (programs, procedures, etc.). Also I like to share, with some colleagues, what I prepare to my class and what results want to get with my students, I ask them what they think. I think those examples can be some forms of a mentor support a mentee “beyond” the classroom.

Since I have been mentoring the teacher that come from abroad, she was 40+, for her it was important to get the support in everyday life. I was helping to adapt to the country, to language: from showing how to buy tickets to public transport to how to legalize documents, etc. I have made really good friends with her, however, that she still feels the hierarchy, as I do believe this is the hardest point. Not to become very close friends, but helpful professional supporter.

Mentoring "beyond" the Classroom may involve:
Communicating with parents in the form advise or even counselling.
Networking with other colleagues sharing views and opinios on certain teaching issues.
Searching for materials or planning the use of materials.

Showing the Mentees all sort of activities they will be involved to, what can they do for the school, what school can do for them. How to improve their job in the classroom, how to use ICT, how to relate with headmaster and other colleagues. All the opportunities school and territory could give them. The relationship with students, with parents. The Bureaucracy under the teaching activity.

In my country the situation that causes some problems is the amount of interventions some schools have, maily public schools. I will suggest my mentee to be calm and research about the implications of having different institutions trying to improve public education. Sometimes teacher just have cope those activities that take time and extra work.

I try to help young, inexperienced teacher way to teach to students, to motivate them, to support them. Mostly, in informal context (coffee break, pause, other situations).
I also explain them that they should learn from different courses and also from his own practice (observing what work's and what not).

Antoaneta, Romania

Irene Confalone Italy

In my opinion and in my school 's opinion "beyond the classroom" means that the mentor helps to understand how the things work in school. My idea of a good mentor is one person that is always ready to guide you not to decide for you (mentee).

All aspects of work outside the classroom like understanding school hierarchies, meeting parents, taking part in projects, developing positive relationships with colleagues, etc, as well as CPD opportunities.

elenapezzi1 — 2019-10-01 19:23:07 UTC

My last experience as mentor is quite peculiar: I have been the mentor of a student of mine who has become teacher in the same school that she attended... That is why it has been particularly interesting discuss with her about what lies behind what she was used to see with her "student's eye". Moreover, I always try to explain and involve new teachers in all the projects that our school carries on with partners all over Europe (and beyond...): eTwinning, Erasmus+, international exchanges, etc.

anatendinha — 2019-10-01 23:53:55 UTC

For the development of a full and articulated work it is necessary to know all the areas involved: the school's educational project, the programs, objectives and goals of the school and curriculum documents, the school's structuring documents, the characteristics of the students and the surrounding community, relationships with local entities, school participation in programs or projects (environmental, health, absenteeism, migrants, inclusion, Erasmus+, etwinning ...), ...
It is also very important to know who we can turn to for information and support related to each of these areas.

Constantinos, Greece

2019-10-02 06:25:22 UTC

When a new teacher came to my school, I introduced her to the other teachers, I showed her where the classrooms were, I guided her through some flexible spaces we have in the school for varied learning approaches (plays, music conserts, educational meetings) and I explained her how do we use these venues, we had a talk about the difficulties of our courtyard as far as it concerned the students’ safety. I also informed her about how do we met the parents espessialy at the beginning of the school period and what we talk about in that meeting. We did’t – but we would have- talked about the regulations (both rules and rights), as HANIFE FROM TURKEY mentioned above.

Of course when you are mentoring new teachers there also other issues that maybe crucial. For instance inform the new teachers about the school hierarchy, about the bureaucracy about who to go to talk to, or to demonstrate that they will fulfill pastoral work as well as academic work with students or bureaucracy work.

Raquel Macedo, Portugal

raquelcostamacedo — 2019-10-02 10:21:55 UTC

“Beyond the classroom” means everything that’s outside of the classroom. Teaching, and thus mentoring, isn’t restricted to the classroom (teaching strategies or classroom management), it also includes aspects related to the school itself (the school’s structuring documents, school’s projects, the neighboring community, school’s hierarchy and organization), the interaction with parents and students and helping with the professional, and sometimes, personal, development.

Manuela, Italy

Beyond the classroom means how you can change the mentee in a real `human`.

Macarena, Spain

2019-10-02 17:56:36 UTC

At least in Spain each group of students has a teacher who performs personalized monitoring of each student, maintains an individual relationship with them and their families, etc. In my experience, a beginner teacher who is in charge of a group of students as a tutor, may have many doubts. It is a job that involves a lot of work and the teacher does not have much time for this task. How can I help my mentee to carry out his task as a group tutor? I think it would be convenient for the mentor to also be a group tutor of the same degree, so they will be together in the group sessions to prepare the tutorials with their respective students. It can also help my mentee to have a scheme to work during the meetings with the parents of their students.

J.N.

2019-10-02 18:26:15 UTC

Of course, the work of a teacher doesn't end in the classroom. Tehre are many more things to do out of it, such as dealing with parents, collaborating in the school activities, holding meetings with other teachers in order to solve problems or foresee them, and the mentee needs to be guided into these. Teaching does not only consist on giving academic lectures.

Krisztina, Hungary

2019-10-02 20:22:27 UTC

In my country the administrative burden in enormous on the teachers so it is very important to teach the mentee how to be effective instead of spending too much time on it. Also the laws and regulations keep changing far too often so the mentees have to be taught how to tackle with this challenge .

In order to work effectively we must prepare students, mentor them in relation to the requirements of these local agents, with the standards they have in different fields. It should not only be said but presented concrete situations in the economic field. Methods of working and acquiring the skills to work in this sector.

Alexandra, Greece

The school is an organization that constantly interacts with society. The teacher has to communicate effectively with his colleagues, his administrators, the parents and the local community. Mainly, he has to get integrated in the "culture" of the school.

Jenny, Greece

2019-10-03 17:31:10 UTC

One of the most important factors in the school community is what we call the culture of the school. Any new member of faculty who comes to a school has to absorb this culture and make it their own if they want to integrate themselves seamlessly. Mentors have to help mentees become part of the community by helping them realise the way the community works.
Moreover, since teachers in Greece do a lot of administrative work, new teachers need some help until they learn how to do things.

Cristina B, Portugal

cristinabasilio — 2019-10-03 20:11:19 UTC

'Beyond the classroom means all the work teachers ought to develop in order to fit in his role as an interface between many agents: with peers, students, parents, Board of school. It's the learning of an ethic code, a system of references, a mindset which defines both the profession itself but also the school atmosphere which is unique from school to School.

Rasheda, UK

2019-10-03 22:02:50 UTC

Beyond the classroom, teachers will participate in supervision of break; lead assemblies; attend staff meetings; take part in planning-meetings; supervise the regular trips to the sports' centre and library - all these 'non-teaching' responsibilities have implicit rules and guidelines, and so a mentor needs to have a support network in place. this could be pairing the new teacher with experiences TAs or teachers who have a similar timetable so they can see these in action and can raise questions in real-time. providing directed 'training' time to familiarise the mentor with the school's software systems and procedures can also be very beneficial. A deadline calendar also alerts new teachers to aspects that are new, and these can be raised with the support network and/or mentor over time rather than being overloaded with all the responsibilities all at once.

Madalena from Portugal

2019-10-03 22:16:31 UTC

Beyond the classroom there are a lot of tasks the mentee would probably need support with in order to feel part of the school community: get involved in the Annual activity plan; join an existing club / project or set a new one; plan meetings with parents; get to know the local community to understand where their pupils come from, their social background; get to know the administrative duties.

Alexandra, Greece

2019-10-04 16:24:23 UTC

Silvia, Italy

silvia_lolli — 2019-10-05 08:41:34 UTC

I think that all suggestions (of Rachel and of Ontario) are important and should be need of more worlds...Trust and empathy are fundamental in each relationship; so the modeling mutual respect is action that derives from these elements of behavior. Also other titles of Ontario's ideas are important: listening skill is fundamental for each positive relationship; so same mentoring must develop this action as the sharing "real world" challenges: in one world we must be available to share, to open, to know my and his/her level of development, in a continuous exchange of experiences.
Then all mentoring situations must be live with creativity and despite time (available of mentor and mentee for possible leasure time to spend together...) and space (in school- coffe space or other spaces, or out the school, but pay attention to shipping time...).
Last reflection: in Italy is very difficult giving time, because time table of job teacher is more stiff; furthermore spaces school are not usually for free time (or coffe break) meetings!

Andreea Goldschmidt, Romania

Most of the parents are separated and students live with only mum or dad or with one of the relatives. I even have students who lives alone.

A mentor needs to help the new teachers integrate themselves in the school context, deal with administrative work but beyond all, learn to interact with students, parents and colleagues so as to feel that they fit in. Otherwise, they won't be able to see themselves as amembers of the school community or realise the culture of the school and actively participate.

In work with parents – mentor can give them some general advices about how to speak with parents, and eventually attend some of those conversations in order to give lather their opinion and advice.

With appliance of the lows and rules relating with school.

In relationships with other colleagues and school staff – mentor need to refer mentee to colleagues in charge to help teachers in solving specific problems.

In keeping record of his work on propriate way.

In my school context, mentoring beyond the classroom should mean:
to introduce other teachers to the mentee, to help the mentee to know who is who in the school, to know the building distribution and spaces, to know school surroundings, routines, the culture and its habits, to prepare and carry out teacher-parents meetings, to review and develop all the school’s plans and programmes.

Marcello R. / Italy

2019-10-06 17:42:03 UTC

As a mentor, I do the typical things all mentors do: answer questions, provide referrals if I can and periodically check in to make sure everything is going well. It has been through this experience that I learned that a mentorship relationship should be mutually beneficial. Through my mentoring, I am forced to constantly “check-in” with myself and make sure I am following my own advice. It forces me to think through how I want my teaching practice to look and what long-term impression I want to leave with my students. Above all, it forces me to make sure I am leading with the best example I can; no one likes to take advice from someone who isn’t already taking their own advice.

Marinela, Croatia

In my school a mentee may find it difficult how to deal with parents but as there is a small age difference between the mentee and the students sometimes they even need help on how to communicate with the kids.

Let them attend parent meetings with you so they can gain experience. Be available on regular basis for them. I have 2 moments a week I'm in my classroom and everyone can come in to ask for help, or just to chat on how things are going. Besides that I'm always available through school email. Don't assume your mentee will know everything. Set reminders (for example about an outschool activity, what if they get sick, how to enter yearplans into the schoolsystem etc..

These are very often crusial issues for most of mentees beginners or experienced.
Concerning the first one, the mentor has to support mentees to acquire self confident and communicate with the parets as professional.
Conserning the second one, mentos has to help mentees to use different teacing methods and materials (art, experiments, articles from magazines or internnet), in order to motivate studenta with different skills or interests.

- in organization issues
- in classroom management
- in questions concerning the topics you teach
- in the relationships with other teachers, parents, principal, students
- in the evaluation of students

Sometimes you feel "lost" when something "different" happens in the class, e.g. a student feels sick, what should I do in order to help him and not leaving the rest of the group alone?
Of course, the parents meetings can be difficult during your first years because you are still learning (well, you always do), and sometimes you don't have the answers parents need.

For me is quite difficult when you are in charge of an activity in wchir different teacher are involve. Each one have different ideas, timetables ... and at the end you spend hours trying to solve the puzzl. And is time consuming.

Mentoring "beyond" the classroom presupposes monitoring beyond the academic work that is done with students.
The mentor should support the beginning teacher in the school routines and school organization, in the bureaucratic areas (documentation) that are used at school, make known the various colleagues and their functions, as well as advise in the various situations of the school day.

For this reason the more he knows the dynamics of class and the dynamics of interaction, the more he can make himself available and collaborate.
