Mentoring : Mentoring And Leadership

If principals want to improve student achievement in their school, rather than focus on the individual inspection of teaching, they must focus on the collective analysis of evidence of student learning. The key to improved student learning is to ensure more good teaching in more classrooms more of the time. The most powerful strategy for improving both teaching and learning, however, is not by micromanaging instruction but by creating the collaborative culture and collective responsibility of a professional learning community (PLC) (Mattos, 2013). Today, many school districts have adopted a formal mentoring program that consists of matching new teachers with a veteran mentor (Sever,

I am initiating a meeting with you based on dialogue I had with my manager, Andrew Raven. He believes that under your tutelage I can be informed and guided accordingly to realize my career goals.

When I got hired I was not mentored by anyone and it took me little longer to understand my job as compare to if I was mentored. I can also see the rationale some manager might use to have intention non-mentoring plan as they probably do not want departing employee to bad mouth about the department, other employees and the organization. I can see that happening especially if person is resigning due to some bitterness or when the person is asked to leave. In your case when you were promoted in the same organization your manager should have valued you more and let you mentor the new hire, but human nature is complex and sometimes, people behave irrational. Eventually, you end up mentoring via cheat sheets anyways.

Mentoring can provide an opportunity to help young people attain developmental assets or skills in science that are needed to better deal with various challenges of the modern world. As I come from a country that most students in the US are not so acquinted with (Croatia, Europe), that may open some new perspectives in scientific thinking and consequently give an edge in the ensuing Innovation Challenges. Furthermore, as I am a medical doctor with a PhD in Biomedical in Health Sciences, and the 2017 innovation challenges focus on Public Health and Well-being, I think I can provide some valuable insight for the students interested in pursuing this opportunity. Finally, I strongly believe that each of us who takes on this challenge will grow

For the first day of team discussion, the topic 'Why Mentoring' was discussed. The points that my team raised resonated with the rest of the teams. Some of the points that were brought up during the discussion included mentoring as an opportunity to inspire, reflect and learn, as a form of exchanging of new ideas (innovation), succession planning for the organization, grooming people and tapping on resources to raise competencies, bridging the generational gap (experience vs new hires), as career development and psychosocial for both Mentors and Mentees.

Teacher collaboration is a must to help grow teachers in content and best practice strategies. No longer can teachers be isolated, but need to work with other teachers to focus on what material and instruction needs

Mentors can be a very influential in someone’s life. A mentor can be a person that someone looks up to. Many people have had a mentor in their life and want to do the same for others. Because they know how beneficial it is. Mentors offer a presence of comfort and security to a child. They are to help through life’s daily challenges and can offer up advice on different situations.

Mentoring is defined as an informal transference of knowledge between an expert and a neophyte. The mentor is said to have greater knowledge either in a particular field or of general, human qualities that he or she wants to transfer to the mentee. (PowerPoint 1: Slide 3). The purposes of mentoring include supporting professional development within an organization; identifying and nurturing an employee's emerging talents, and teaching employees professional standards. Mentoring can be used to 'stretch' the talents of the mentee and even help to develop the talents of the mentor him or herself. Both parties can learn from the exchange (PowerPoint 1: Slide 11).

Organisations are increasingly evolving quicker due to globalisation and advances in industries and technology. These events have made market environments progressively more competitive and have changed the economic climate in which organisations operate. Unfortunately some organisations have had to implement restructures and reductions in workforce to ensure survival. Foundation Design are one of these organisations whose company size has gone from 1,513 employees to 780 employees. During the restructure of the organisation the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) identified that changes were required to its leadership profile and coaching and mentoring programmes. These changes

Mentoring program have become common place in the social service community, their general effectiveness has been well evaluated. This research will provide foundation for the following review of Deep blue lines, focusing on mentor/mentee relationships, family involvement, their camp element and program evaluation (DBL). DBL is a mentoring program for at risk youths, run by Police-Citizens Youth Club (PCYC) is a aimed at 13-17 year olds who are at risk of entering into criminal activities or disengaging from community, education and family. DBL involves small group mentoring sessions ran by police officers, focusing on communication, goal setting, making good choices, and positive self-image. Another element to the program is

For the best results and success of a teacher leadership program, it is important to select teachers that are ready, willing, and able to fulfill the roles that will be required of them in their new positions. Effective teacher leaders have the energy, drive, disposition, skills, and values that other teachers will respect, support, and accept (Danielson, 2007). In the selection of teacher leaders, it is important to consider the state standards and the diverse characteristics that are needed to be a leader (Nappi, 2014). Teachers, according to the domains in the standards, need to:

There are many barriers to developing an effective mentoring relationship. Many times these relationships are successful. However, many times they are not. I will discuss some of the barriers that cause them to fail.

The use of coaching and mentoring is on the rise within the workplace. Several organizations have adopted the process of coaching and mentoring as development tools to develop those employees who are seeking future advancement. Also, they are setting the foundation for future leaders. The adaption of these developmental tools within an organization is providing employees with the necessary feedback and support to establish and plan their career. Coaching and mentoring provides an employee with the necessary leadership and management skills they would need to strive up the career ladder within an organization. These processes are both ‘helping’ activities, employed either as distinct interventions or together

Do you need mentoring help to succeed in Network marketing? Can you be successful without one? I am sure that you can be successful without a mentor, but the importance of a mentor should not be discounted. A good mentor can help you navigate the lows and hasten your path to success. A mentor will guide you through the hoops and shorten your path to success. He/she will and hold your hands through the tough times.

My motivation for teaching is that I love helping the community, working with and helping children, growing children's minds, etc. I believe helping the community is important because if everyone helps one another in the community, your community can grow into a utopia. Children will need your help and guidance, considering that adults have more experience than children. Growing and nurturing children’s minds is extremely vital due to the fact that since children’s minds are still developing, it is extremely vital to get them started on the correct path.
