Sessions include:
PI 34 states that districts will provide qualified mentors to inital educators, and those mentors must be trained. This two-day foundational training focuses on knowledge, skills, and understanding that are critical to those who work with initial educators. The training is guided by the belief that learning to teach is career-long developmental process that involves a continuous cycle of planning, teaching and reflecting. At its core, the training develops the mentor's ability to respond to each new teacher's individual developmental and contextual needs to promote the ongoing examination of classroom practice.
How do mentors and coaches address in the beginning teacher's classroom that cannot be ignored while maintaining relationships that are built on trust and respect? This one-day advanced caching training focuses on supporting the mentors' professional development to coach strategically and to find solutions to challenging situations.
In order to become certified as professional educators in Wisconsin, initial educators
must satisfactorily complete Wisconsin's Professional Development Plan (PDP). Since the mentor will be working closely
with the new teacher on his/her classroom practice, it is imperative that the mentor knows how to use the PDP as s/he
works with that initial educator.
This one-day workshiop will focus on:
As per PI 34, district mentors will have input into the formative assessment of the initial educator. This two-day coaching training focuses on the collection of observation data in relationship to Wisconsin's Teacher Standards and on ways in which data can be shared with the initial educator to improve instructional pracitce. Guided by the belief that coaching creates healthy, colalborative environments where professionals can examine their work, the training emphasizes the langauge and behavior of support in developing a trusting relationshp between mentor/coach and initial educator.
This two-day training focuses on a framework for equitable outcomes and for mentoring beginning teachers from an equity perspective within the context of the Wisconsin Teacher Standards. Inequities regarding race, langauge, and culture in the classroom and in schools will be addressed. This training is guided by the belief that we must uncover and address inequities in pedagogy, content, and climate in order to teach all students successfully.
