Kane School District Mentor Orientation
Introduction The Kane School District Mentor program is designed to assist new teachers in meeting those requirements. Mentors are an integral part of the KSD Mentor program. Mentors should develop positive relationships with their mentees and be a meaningful help to their attainment of effective instruction and a Utah Professional license.
Mentor Overview & Expectations Meet regularly with your mentee to discuss and address challenges or questions. Conversations with your mentee are to be kept confidential. There is no need to share mentor conversations or observations with the building administrator. You are the go- to person for the new teacher!!
Mentor Overview & Expectations Create opportunities for you mentee to observe you and other effective teachers. Your principal may want to work with you to schedule these opportunities. Your mentee is required to complete AT LEAST 3 classroom observations. Try to keep them from being isolated in their own classroom. Observe your mentee 3 times during the school year and provide constructive feedback focusing on the observation facts, not personal preferences. Give your completed observation forms to your mentee. They will also complete a reflection form for each observation. All forms will be a part of their Professional Portfolio.
