If we want our students to succeed we must support novice teachers and their mentors. One way to support novice teacher development is to create a common language for mentoring conversations. This allows mentors to align mentoring conversations to teaching standards and gives them an opportunity to differentiate practices to meet the varied needs of novice teachers.

The Mentoring in Action Team values the importance of reflection, mindfulness and positive psychology practices as well as self-care for both mentors and novices. We integrate these principles into all aspects of our  resources and programs.
