A4: yes. Sometimes we are the only + adult they have. Or the only one that "gets" them. You may not mentor everyone you educate #wvedchat

acottos Apr 4 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A5: Our MS has created a program that pairs Ts with Ss in need for mentoring. We were trained by a state program #wvedchat

Question 5 — #wvedchat

jodiepierpoint Apr 4 @ 8:38 PM EDT

#wvedchat

JoshSektnan Apr 4 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A5: It cannot be forced. Teachers have to be willing to find someone that meshes with them. #wvedchat

jodiepierpoint Apr 4 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Q5: We need to start programs to build self esteem. They can be adult to student or S to S. ES students LOVE HS students #wvedchat

DrRikki908 - Moderator Apr 4 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A5: tough question....but I think it should be an ongoing process for all that want to participate. #wvedchat

sgarton121 Apr 4 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A5: We all have teachers that really do get the mentor role. We need to recognize them. #wvedchat

jodiepierpoint Apr 4 @ 8:40 PM EDT

I agree. Not always someone they have in class. #wvedchat

In reply to @JoshSektnan

acottos Apr 4 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A5: Ts need to know each other to know what Ss they could relate to. Ts need to be willing to guide Ss to the right fit! #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Apr 4 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A5: As for Ts, it's hard b/c one gets assigned as a newbie and unless a good relationship is there, it doesn't work well #wvedchat

jodiepierpoint Apr 4 @ 8:41 PM EDT

I agree - how can we fix that? #wvedchat

In reply to @tisinaction

beccarecco Apr 4 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A5 Knock down classroom walls! Create experiences for students to tackle real problems in the community w/ comm experts and pros. #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Apr 4 @ 8:41 PM EDT

#wvedchat A5 Give your Ss a voice. They can help make some Ts uncomfortable. They notice who mentors & who doesn't. And it irritates them!

Jacki_prati Apr 4 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A5-love this question-I don't know how to do this, can't wait for answers #wvedchat... PS-I keep accidentally typing #ohedchat

Good question, and one I don't think I can think of an answer for right now :) #wvedchat

beccarecco Apr 4 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A5 cont'd Ts need to build strong community relationship and look for ways to bridge networks between students and their community #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Apr 4 @ 8:43 PM EDT

#wvedchat A5: Survey kids "If you had to choose 1, just 1, adult n this bldg who you trust, who would it be?" Responses cld be powerful.

A5.2: Ts have a natural instinct to help whoever they can... it's different with mentoring. It can't be forced or 1 size fits all! #wvedchat

AmberoniNCheese Apr 4 @ 8:44 PM EDT

#iForgot I have a lot of reading to do. 😬😬😬😬😬 #wvedchat

A4: The words have different meanings, but we should try to become mentors when we can; everyone benefits from a mentor at school #WVEdChat

#wvedchat whoop, whoop… Question 6 heading your way!

A6-when you mentor it forces you to reflect on your intent and purpose b/c you're sharing it w/ others #wvedchat

sgarton121 Apr 4 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A6: We learn best from our students. I know that I am a much better teacher because of them. We teach to give back. #wvedchat

sdtitmas Apr 4 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5 We have staff/student mentors/mentees who meet during lunch, recess, etc. to give extra help with work or just to "check in" #wvedchat

A6: You learn to see through another's eyes and try to understand their perspective/outlook #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Apr 4 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6 It helps me get things off my chest or bounce ideas off of someone that I want to try #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Apr 4 @ 8:47 PM EDT

#wvedchat A6: It exercises empathy. Look for edu n ur schl who treats othrs w/greatest empathy. U prob found the greatest teacher n ur schl.

AmberoniNCheese Apr 4 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Mentoring: Because everyone needs a friend and someone to share ideas with. Support each other. #wvedchat

A6- Mentoring others requires you to focus and reflect on your own lessons, teaching, resources, and advice #wvedchat

acottos Apr 4 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6: we get to see a new, deeper side of our Ss where we can build more effective lessons to build or interests and strengths! #wvedchat

beccarecco Apr 4 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6 I think mentoring reminds us what it was like to be at the beginning of the journey and brings us back to the fundamentals. #wvedchat

jodiepierpoint Apr 4 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A6: Since having a mentor, I have grown as an educator. I take risks and think a lot more about what’s best for students #wvedchat

JoshSektnan Apr 4 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A6: You see through the eyes of others. Makes you reevaluate yourself. #wvedchat

jodiepierpoint Apr 4 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A6: don't we grow as educators when we learn from our students? Won't we grow as mentors as we learn from mentees? #wvedchat

#wvedchat LAST QUESTION of the night coming up next

beccarecco Apr 4 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Definitely. Teaching can be very isolating, especially to new teachers. I hear this complaint a lot. #wvedchat
