Mentor Teachers

Mentoring is an ongoing relationship that extends throughout the first year of a new teacher's professional practice. The relationship is a supportive one, with the mentor acting as a role model, facilitator, coach and advisor, and sharing his or her experience and knowledge with the new teacher.

The mentoring process not only enables you and your new teacher to grow and develop as professionals, but also contributes to a more collaborative and collegial culture within the school.

Welcoming new teachers into the professional learning community in our schools is of great benefit to all teachers and students, and teachers new to the profession are eager to contribute to their learning communities in meaningful ways. Experienced teachers can help guide their colleagues in many ways to contribute to the school community while helping with time management and alerting them to school priorities.

Encourage One Another

Encourage one another and build up each other, as you are doing. Respect those who labour among you, and have charge of you in the Lord and admonish you; esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. And we urge you, beloved, to admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all of them. See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:11-18
