Our beliefsOur beliefs
This training is intended to meet the state legislative PI 34 requirements stating all beginning teachers must be provided with a “trained” mentor who is a licensed educator. When implemented with fidelity, this professional learning represents the core requirements to assist mentors in providing quality support to initial educators. Ongoing mentor support is recommended.

Handout Effective Mentoring: Guiding Initial Educators Six Big Ideas
1. A period of teacher induction is important for all new teachers.
2. A common vision is important to define high quality teaching practice.
3. The relationship between the new teacher and the mentor is critical to the success of the induction program.
4. Beginning teacher’s attitudes and professional practice are dynamic; effective mentors align their support to these teacher needs.
5. Effective mentoring includes conversations about improving professional practice.
6. Mentors help beginning teachers reflect and develop professional goals.

“Many urban districts lose half their new teachers within their first five years of teaching. High attrition rates among new teachers may lower student achievement if it is the most effective teachers who leave and teachers improve most during their first years in the classroom.”

Mentors as Effective Mentors as Effective Educators: Spillover EffectEducators: Spillover Effect
20Jackon & Bruegmann, American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (2009)
Highly-able teachers can impact the achievement in surrounding teachers’ classes who are working with the highly effective teacher. Student achievement goes up as much as 10-20% of the amount that would be occurring in that effective teacher’s class.
When mentoring programs thrive, schools systems are also more likely to develop a comprehensive vision for assessing and supporting instructional excellence . . . More important, they have a much greater chance of transforming their schools into vibrant learning communities capable of helping all teachers, and all students, succeed.

If you were to walk into a classroom, what might you see or hear there (from the students as well as the teacher) that would cause you to think that you were in the presence of an expert professional?
What would make you think: “Oh, this is good; if I had a child this age, this is the class I would hope for.”

Handout NEVER GOT A CHANCE I had an occasion to mentor, or try to mentor, Gayle, a brand new teacher with the Los Angeles Unified School District. Gayle’s previous experiences had been as a Deputy Sheriff in Los Angeles and as a teacher with preschool children. Gayle joined our staff in September as a sixth-grade teacher. She appeared very confident. She said that she neither wanted nor needed help in setting up her classroom or in developing curriculum units because of her previous experience.
As soon as I became aware that I would be Gayle’s mentor teacher, I introduced myself as a friend and mentor and stated that I would like to observe her to see if there might be something I could do to help her get started. Gayle stated right away that there was nothing I could do.
About two weeks later my attention again focused on Gayle when she asked a question at a faculty meeting, “What does ELL mean?” Gayle also told about new techniques she was using in her class. The techniques were well tried for a thousand years. Therefore, after the meeting, I was very anxious to see her. I insisted on seeing her. I stated that I would like to see some of the wonderful things she had mentioned. Gayle firmly stated that she did not want a visit at that time because of a play they were working on and because of time conflicts.
I scheduled to see her anyway. She was absent that day, so I did not see her. Because of my schedule at other schools, I did not see her again until my principal asked if I would give her some help with her room environment and bulletin boards. I happily agreed. My principal mentioned that it was not going to be easy and said, “It’s like walking on eggshells.”
I again conferenced with Gayle in the cafeteria about visiting her room. She was very rude at this point. Unfortunately, I never saw Gayle in her classroom, even though I used a variety of foot-in-the-door techniques.
At our monthly mentor meeting, a new mentor teacher had been added to our school, and Gayle was put on her roster. At my last conference with Gayle’s new mentor teacher, she told me that she was having the same problem that I had had with Gayle. “Can I see you?” “No, you cannot!”

Handout Phases of First-Year Teaching Ellen Moir
Articles
This article was originally written for publication in the newsletter for the California New Teacher Project, published by
the California Department of Education (CDE), 1990.
First-year teaching is a difficult challenge. Equally challenging is figuring out ways to support and assist beginning
teachers as they enter the profession. Since 1988 the Santa Cruz New Teacher Project has been working to support
the efforts of new teachers. After supporting nearly 1,500 new teachers, a number of developmental phases have
been noted. While not every new teacher goes through this exact sequence, these phases are very useful in helping
everyone involved -- administrators, other support personnel, and teacher education faculty--in the process of
supporting new teachers. These teachers move through several phases from anticipation, to survival, to
disillusionment, to rejuvenation, to reflection; then back to anticipation. Here's a look at the stages through which new
teachers move during that crucial first year. New teacher quotations are taken from journal entries and end-of-the-
year program evaluations.
ANTICIPATION PHASE The anticipation phase begins during the student teaching portion of preservice preparation. The closer student
teachers get to completing their assignment, the more excited and anxious they become about their first teaching
position. They tend to romanticize the role of the teacher and the position. New teachers enter with a tremendous
commitment to making a difference and a somewhat idealistic view of how to accomplish their goals. "I was elated to
get the job but terrified about going from the simulated experience of student teaching to being the person completely
in charge." This feeling of excitement carries new teachers through the first few weeks of school.
SURVIVAL PHASE The first month of school is very overwhelming for new teachers. They are learning a lot and at a very rapid pace.
Beginning teachers are instantly bombarded with a variety of problems and situations they had not anticipated.
Despite teacher preparation programs, new teachers are caught off guard by the realities of teaching. "I thought I'd be
busy, something like student teaching, but this is crazy. I'm feeling like I'm constantly running. It's hard to focus on
other aspects of my life."
During the survival phase, most new teachers struggle to keep their heads above water. They become very focused
and consumed with the day-to-day routine of teaching. There is little time to stop and reflect on their experiences. It is
not uncommon for new teachers to spend up to seventy hours a week on schoolwork.
Particularly overwhelming is the constant need to develop curriculum. Veteran teachers routinely reuse excellent
lessons and units from the past. New teachers, still uncertain of what will really work, must develop their lessons for
the first time. Even depending on unfamiliar prepared curriculum such as textbooks is enormously time consuming.
"I thought there would be more time to get everything done. It's like working three jobs: 7:30-2:30, 2:30-6:00, with
more time spent in the evening and on weekends." Although tired and surprised by the amount of work, first-year
teachers usually maintain a tremendous amount of energy and commitment during the survival phase, harboring
hope that soon the turmoil will subside.
