  This Video Library offers introductions to each month in the Mentoring in Action book, examples of purposeful mentoring conversations, and a variety of videos to support mentor training and novice teacher development.
Mindful Memos

These Memos are designed to support mentors and novice teachers in using the books, Mentoring in Action: Guiding, Sharing, and Reflecting and The First Years Matter: Becoming an Effective Teacher (2nd editions).

Each memo includes videos, suggestions for that month, and ways to be more mindful.

Group mentoring

Group mentoring is an opportunity to share ideas and solve problems beyond the usual one-one conversations. Groups can include mentors, novice teachers, and any teacher in the school who wants to learn and grow.

  Student Perspectives are important to enhancing teaching practices. We encourage the use of anonymous surveys and follow-up conversations with mentors and novices discussing how the data gathered can improve teaching practices.
District Action Plans are important to identify roles and responsibilities for mentors and ensure stakeholders will sustain mentor training and support for novices in years 1-3.
