The mentoring program for new grads at this facility has been very successful. The facility has found that the mentoring program builds confidence in the new grads and respect for the mentor. It makes the new grads believe they are wanted and helps them adapt to the

I hope that you are doing well and thank you for agreeing to be my mentor. I am writing in regards to a project I’m doing for my English 2 Honors class. This project is called the Passion Project. For this project, we spent a year learning about a topic that interests us or something that we are passionate about. At the end of the year, we demonstrate the outcome of our project by presenting it to our peers.

Based on the written and oral response, along with details from the student description, Guillermo needs assistance developing his grammatical skills. The student description notes that Guillermo struggles with grammar, both written and orally. In his written response, Guillermo has run-on sentences and struggles with verbs and their correct tenses. His oral response also shows weaknesses with verb tenses when he uses “go” instead of “went”.

I interviewed a young lady on SUNY Old Westbury campus named Tenesha. She was a Hispanic female, age 25, who is a Graduate Student studying Child Psychology. She desires to work in a school with children ranging from 6 to 12 years old. She’s inspired to help the youth understand the essential psychological needs of children and adolescents, the substances of their environment, help establish a connect with children who needs to social breakthrough with where their backgrounds and emotional acclimations, aid to the behavior concerns of children and provide counseling to assist them as they transition in school.

I have been acquainted with Ms. Banks- Tillman since 2009- 2013, as her high school guidance counselor. As a student at Winter Park High School, Ms. Banks- Tillman was always motivated to learning for the pure sake of interacting with new information. She always stayed focus to her education despite the distractions that occurred all around her. Ms. Banks- Tillman was transcended in the classrooms by working hard, earning good grades and graduating high school, then to further her education and attend college. Ms. Banks- Tillman was dedicated to community service and completed well over 80 hours. Last, Ms. Banks- Tillman was a skilled athlete participating

One thing I believe is a necessity in growing up is having a mentor. Having a mentor is, not only, beneficial for the mentee but also the mentor. Being a mentor is a learning experience for everyone participating, it helps people grow as a person and friendships are created when a bond if formed. Some people might think it's a waste of time for a child or that it'll never work out for a troubled delinquent but based on the research I've done, I have proven them wrong. Through-out this paper I will provide the pros and cons of mentoring and how they affect both mentor and mentee. To back up my proposal that mentoring is supporting, I will supply examples to answer the question: Is mentoring really important?

This week’s meeting with my mentee David went very well. We discussed about the campus resources on school and talked about his academic standing in his classes. I felt pretty confident with campus resources because of previous experiences with my mentor. Also, I utilize the campus resources binder in the Prospect's office to gather more information about the different types of resources there is on campus. After talking about the different resources, we then walked to specific resources that would benefit David and learned more about it there.

It is with great pleasure I write this letter in support of Ms. Dora Dassuncao. I have had the opportunity to work closely, as a resource teacher, with Ms. Dassuncao during the Spring of 2016 in her 6th period math class. This class has a high population of students with special needs and to better serve she proposed we co-teach. This willingness to collaborate has been instrumental in the success of these students. I am impressed by Ms. Dassuncao’s ability to work collaboratively to meet the needs of all students. She has never shied away from trying something new in an effort to reach students with differing needs. Ms. Dassuncao has immense content knowledge. She knows how to present material in ways students understand and has high expectations for all of her students.

“The staff here at Frances Slocum is very grateful every day for the selfless investment of time that the mentors give,” she said. “Many of these students have no other positive adult in their lives. For children in poverty, a significant relationship outside poverty may be the link to a better life.”

The students each volunteered read their sentences. Olgesby offered feedback to each student indicating success or encouraging them to utilize the skills taught to write a sentence. The students were the placed in pairs to revise sentences that needed to be corrected. During the 15 minutes, Olgesby monitored the students’ progress and assisted them when necessary. Olgesby asked the students to reflect on what they learned in science. Once they completed their reflections, the students left for art class. Olgesby and I spent her planning period discussing her teaching methods, expectations for her students, and community involvement in the SPED program.

The aim of this essay is to discuss on how the reflection on mentorship will be undertaken, how and why the model of reflection will be used and the importance of confidentiality. I will reflect the mentorship by ensuring that the mentee during clinical practice is put at ease throughout the learning experience of four weeks (Quinn, and Hughes 2007, p. 29). Also, I will use the principle of Kolb’s learning cycle as my model of reflection because reflecting is an essential element of learning. As I am the mentor, I will follow this cycle in a clockwise direction with Jude, so she would have to reflect on the skills learnt by reviewing the whole situation (Kolb’s learning cycle 1984 in Rose and Best 2005, p.129). This would enable Jude to

Castilleja is one of the famous girl schools in the bay area. The core value of the school are conscience, character, courtesy, charity and courage, and provide girls’ education in diversity and caring environment. This is equally significant with my willing for my daughter too. My Master teacher told me, that she had a student had studied in your school before, this girl did her best effort to anything, and she challenged herself in multifold ways and never give up. In the same way, I appreciate my daughter to understand her duty that everyone should have a duty to others. If she has more ability she can have more duty. I wish she can face and remain her plight with committed to

As part of my introduction, I would like to mention that my research project is about mentoring where I have chosen ‘questioning’ as my strategy. In this report, I will discuss in detail about my ‘Mentoring through Questioning’, which is a key for my research project report. Here, I will cover the project’s context in which it was set, my aims and focus of the project, my justification on why I have chosen mentoring through questioning and the types of questions being used during this project, in support of the relevant literature. And then eventually, I will mention about the interactive sessions between a mentor and mentee, the reflection or the perspectives, specifying the self-analysis as well as the required feedback from mentee as part of the research strategy. Later, I will conclude this report by mentioning about the effectiveness of mentoring sessions and the future actions planned for my skills development.

As an educational leader, I have encountered several new and existing school policies. I never thought deeply about the various processes and the stakeholders involved in policy formulation and implementation. This semester I am engaged in the course Managing Educational Policy as School Leaders (EDLM 6005). This is Semester III, 2016/2017. My course coordinator is Dr. Timar Stephenson. Dr Stephenson was my course coordinator once before and was very helpful whenever I needed clarification or when I had a difficulty. I am thrilled to embrace the new ideas and learning opportunities embedded in this course since it teaches issues which I experience at work. Dr Stephenson, during his introduction reminded his entire class that success in this course would only be realized through hard work, dedication, and commitment. Therefore, it is imperative that I have the right attitude as I navigate this course. The course involves seven weeks of intense work. I am pleased to have a wonderful group facilitator by the name of Rhonda Joseph who has already given us a BBC to explain the requirements of the course and our first two modules.
