Breaking Bad: 3 Ways to Change Ineffective Teaching Habits

by Teachers.Net Gazette

Sep 3, 2014

Once upon a time, there was a giraffe, caged in and confined to the space within the bars. There was no way out imaginable. After years, the bars became familiar, expected, and maybe even comfortable for the giraffe. Sadly, when the cage was eventually opened, the giraffe did not flee. Instead, it bashed its head against the bars over and over...

Neska Polita I remember my 'official' mentor teacher. Not good, he did it for the money. I learned things that I did NOT want to do. Luckily that same year others in the same grade level were my real mentors, he became a friend but was not good acting as a mentor. When I moved to HS, I was assigned a 'teacher buddy' that I never met jeje. Once again I was lucky...See More

Tallytchr Our school has a designated Mentor (with a paid stipend) and while this person is a good friend of mine and a very wonderful teacher...I always thought a mentor teacher should be on the same grade level as the beginning teacher.

There are many things a mentor teacher can help with but the beginning teacher really needs help with day to day...See More

Five or so years ago, there was a posting on the Kindergarten Chatboard from a professor looking for volunteers to become "e-mentors" for her pre-student teaching students. I volunteered for 3 terms with her program (it was a university out in Ohio). Each of her students was assigned an e-mentor, and we corresponded solely through email. They had s...See More

Need a mentor please Hi - I'm not a newbie teacher, but I did just get my license and will have to complete a new licensee program, so I would appreciate having a e-mentor teacher/friend to correspond with/talk with during the school year.

In my school, there are no mentor teachers - we're a small private school that has one classroom per grade level and a hi...See More

A tribute to my mentor: Jan

by judy5ca

Jun 19, 2011

My mentor is someone I met here at Tnet. Her name is Jan and I'll just bet she's a mentor to many. She taught, she trained teachers, she has 2 daughters who are teachers, and she is always willing to help this veteran with becoming a better teacher. Jan believes in the power of excellent teaching.

Jan not only helps when I have a dilemma, ...See More

Jan Fisher Tallytchr, you hit the nail on the head! I heard that before I started mentoring officially in the mid 80s but really didn't think it could possibly be true. It is. And in so many ways! First of all you never learn anything as well as you do when you teach it. but so much with mentoring is diagnosis. And that is a skill that helps us daily with our...See More
