Every Teacher Needs a Mentor

Every Teacher Needs a Mentor | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
My mentor for the last 15 years, Liz Harrington, is retiring this year. She’s the one who, as our department chairperson, advocated for our weekly collaboration time and fought each semester to maintain our precious planning time as a department. Liz is the one I laugh with each Friday when we close our rooms at lunch and steal away for some caffeine. She’s the one who keeps my venting from becoming perpetual smog, and the one who swoops in with a last-minute lesson plan if I have to run and pick up my own sick kid. Liz is the first person I call to share my small victories and my embarrassing defeats.

En la época del coaching y planteándose la posibilidad de un MIR docente, conviene reflexionar sobre la responsabilidad corporativa, la cooperación en el claustro y el aprendizaje cooperativo entre docentes. Al final como en casi todo en la vida es cuestión de sentido común,  vocación y pasión por lo que haces.
