MENTORING BY EXAMPLE

​As we know in our classrooms - a demonstration is usually far more impactful and memorable than a lecture.  I have found this to be true when it comes to mentoring as well.  Thus while I am really excited about mentoring new teachers, I know from personal experience that being observed by a mentor  and having a conversation after is not the best way.  I know how hard it is/ how much effort it takes to integrate new information I have been told- no matter how much I may appreciate and want it- especially when I am already giving my all to teaching my classes!  But experiencing new frameworks and ideas repeatedly and collaborating with an experienced teacher - over the course of a block - facilitates the integration process. 

This is why I offer to be a guest mentor teacher for a whole science unit . I want to give my mentees the best opportunity for growth.  My aim is to facilitate the integration process and make a lasting impact. 
I offer to teach middle school Waldorf science units as I know many class teachers  find teaching science daunting and I LOVE teaching and mentoring science! 

What teachers may gain from staying in / observing the class while I teach. 
  • Class structure and expectations that make the students responsible for their learning (especially important for middle school students.)
  • Rhythms and techniques that assess student comprehension of and engagement with the concepts being taught.
  • How to think about teaching science (making it relevant) and plan the particular unit being taught (make it cohesive and weave in other core subjects).
  • How to give feedback that supports student responsibility for their learning.
  • Integrating important study skills lessons into the unit.
  • The importance of taking care of yourself in the process.

I await your invitation to  teach one or two science main lessons and mentor teachers.

I am also available to discuss and help plan middle school programs that  support sex education and  support faculty consensus work.
