Post: Please Help: Need a mentor
Hello. I am a 32 year old, 2nd year, 6th grade world
history teacher here in north Florida. I am hoping to find
myself a mentor (master teacher) who would be willing to
review/correct and critique my lesson plans on a weekly
basis. I know that I am asking a lot, but teachers I have
found are very giving people. I sincerely thank you in
advance.
I have also been made the team leader and I would love
someone to speak to about this new responsibility in total
confidence. Im already so frustrated, discouraged and
overwhelmed. Please dont mistake me for a bad teacher as I
am not. I have received great evaluations every year. I
find myself in a very tough situation and Im doing what I
have been taught and sincerely believe in: pray for the
strength to persevere and work harder.
Please help.
I just dont have an outlet at my school. The pressure
visited by the school grade has turned a school with
already low morale into a toxic and hostile workplace. The
school received a "D" last year and the admins are already
threatening to fire teachers.
