Description

Mentoring an Early Career Teacher (ECT) is designed to support mentor teachers to develop the skills needed to guide, support, encourage and empower a teacher in the first years of their professional life.
Mentoring an Early Career Teacher requires you to develop and nurture a relationship that is empowering and encouraging. As a mentor you provide insight and ideas that support the growth and productivity of the ECT thus supporting student learning and student outcomes. 
Throughout the day you will develop an understanding and working knowledge of:
  • The Landscape Early Career Teacher's are navigating
  • Effective Induction Programs - what ECT's need to know
  • Mentoring an Early Career - developing the skills to effectively mentor an Early Career Teacher
  • Encouraging Reflective Practice - conducting collegial conversations
  • Developing a growth mindset - research and application 
  • Developing a workable plan for 2020
Early career teacher resilience is promoted when the focus is on understanding the complex, intense and unpredictable nature of teachers' work rather than on individual deficits and victim blaming.
