This is a big month for collaboration! By choosing a day
in the week of February 6-10, Mentors and Beginning Teachers
will take 1/2 day off from regular teaching and spend it together
in collaboration! This is a gift of time that is built into the
mentoring curriculum. Take this time to ask questions about
Iowa Teaching Standard 8. See the February syllabus by
following the syllabus link.

Thinking about a partnership with AEA 267 in Mentoring and Induction? In the 2011-2012 School Year we are offering:
|
Shorter season for classes. (most Aug.-Dec.) We've shortened the season so there aren't long months between classes.This also enables us to offer a second semester option for late hires. There will be support offered by podcasts documents and site visits (if needed) January - May. |
|
More on-line discussion boards, podcasts, and power points = more of the learning in the hands of the participants. |
|
The Administrator's have access to useful tools on the AEA 267 Mentoring and Induction website.Website updated frequently. |
|
Mentors have a month by month syllabus which will guide them to effective and efficient mentoring and induction practice. |
|
Meetings with administrators face-to-face or Skype for mentoring and induction information. If you haven't been updated on Mentoring and Induction Programs at AEA 267 in the last three years give me a call and we will schedule a short meeting at your convenience. |
| District Communication - If your district plans and presents your own Mentoring and Induction Program we have consultative services available. Need an infusion of new ideas? Someone to offer feedback? Call Marcia Knupp at 319-404-2241 to set up a meeting. |
