My Mentor Relationship
I have been very lucky to be placed with my host teacher for two semesters in a row. We have developed a great professional relationship, as well as a friendship. I feel open to ask her any questions about teaching strategies, classroom management, etc. and I like to hear her teaching stories. We share our personal stories as well. I feel very privelaged to have a mentor such as my host teacher because it's very important to have someone there in these years of our lives to ask questions and learn things that we can't learn in a classroom.

ReplyDeleteI agree that these are the years we need to build relationships with those in the field that are able to offer us insight and assistance now and in the future. My mentor teacher also shared personal stories and was extremely helpful to me. She was understanding and introduced me to one of the special education teachers that works in collaborative classes. This was nice because I had not worked with her but it gave me another teacher to talk with and get information from regarding students. My mentor teacher and I have agreed to stay in contact after this semester and into the future and continue to share resources; she doesn't have as much experience with technology as I do so I am able to help her. She is able to offer me assistance with her experience. This relationship allowed me to learn about experiences that we do not learn about in the classroom and to learn about school policies at my PDS.
