PrincipalJ - Moderator Apr 26 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: We assign our new teachers to a mentor from a different grade/department, someone for a positive connection to another area #educoach

mvd1015 Apr 26 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: New Teacher Academy (pl for new t's), mentoring and induction, opportunity for classroom visits, book suggestions etc. #educoach

mvd1015 Apr 26 @ 9:30 PM EDT

and coaching isn't just for the ineffective it's for reflective practitioners who are continuing to grow #educoach

In reply to @ecsandberg11, @kathybaptist

123MrsSmith456 Apr 26 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A5 We have to give new Ts the freedom to fail. Not in a way that hurts kids, but in a way they can grow from with reflection #educoach

lsmith0917 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Yes! The mindset of our new Ts should be already be established as the cultural norm of ongoing growth and improvement of all Ts! #educoach

mvd1015 Apr 26 @ 9:28 PM EDT

jkjohnsonbell - Moderator Apr 26 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: Specific session with a T. I tracked # of Ss following directions (not all) I shared data - reaction was "I don't want that!" #educoach

ApraRalli Apr 26 @ 9:31 PM EDT

#educoach A5. We do expose new Ts to workshops etc,what we could do better is to extend support duration.I'd also have them lead PD sessions

Yes! Failure + reflection + action = growth #educoach

In reply to @123MrsSmith456

Same strategies to encourage reflection by all Ts. I think modeling and questioning - build their capacity to reflect. #educoach

A6 Don't always do it for them. Just like a football coach doesn't run the plays, we cannot run the classroom. #educoach

freidenbloom Apr 26 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A6: Spread positivity, dedication, and a commitment to learning. If you are toxic, allow someone else to mentor. #educoach

A6: Keep new teacher support and teacher evaluation separate. Be a buffer between them and administration to earn their trust. #educoach

lsmith0917 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A6:They're trying to keep all the plates in the air, so chunk out small, achievable goals. Celebrate small wins & build rapport! #educoach

A6: Don't tackle everything all at once. Question more than give advice to build a reflective teacher. Remind them we all grow. #educoach

mvd1015 Apr 26 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Engage in the entire reflective practice: awareness--intentionality--assess--adjust actions #btcfs #educoach

A6: I was also going to say patience. Repeat things 10 times if necessary. Explain&reexplain. Allow stumbles, but help pick up #educoach

Q7: How can new teachers positively impact the culture of our schools? #educoach

lsmith0917 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Gradual release! I do, we do, you do. 😁 They can have support, yet gently nudge towards independence. #educoach

123MrsSmith456 Apr 26 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A6 Don't always do it for them. Just like a football coach doesn't run the plays, we cannot run the classroom. #educoach

123MrsSmith456 Apr 26 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A6 Do not speak negatively about your teachers. If you do, they will hear or they will just know. Same if you speak positively. #educoach

123MrsSmith456 Apr 26 @ 9:43 PM EDT

123MrsSmith456 Apr 26 @ 9:44 PM EDT

I think that sometimes it's the experienced educators that squash the excitement of new Ts. Not intentionally, but still. #educoach
