About the Seminar
Do you frequently mentor student teachers from Boston College and other teacher education programs throughout Boston? Are you searching for meaningful ways to support student teachers during this time? Do you informally mentor colleagues who are at the beginning of their careers or who recently joined your school community?
Come participate in this special professional development experience for teachers like you! Together, we will explore strategies, tools, and resources for supporting student teachers and beginning teachers. We will also discuss mechanisms for managing the mentoring process and competing demands for the most precious commodity of all --- your time. On the second day of the seminar, you are presented with an opportunity to participate (at no additional cost) in the New Teacher Academy at Boston College. The 2014 Academy features a keynote address from Richard Byrne, from the award-winning blog Free Technology for Teachers, and interactive sessions on critical topics for new teachers (e.g., classroom management, organization, communicating with families). You can use the experience as a way to gather practical, useful resources and materials around the topic of mentoring and to support the needs of new teachers next year.
For participating in the seminar, you can earn 1-graduate credit and 12 professional development points.
