Mentoring a New Teacher

 

Mentoring a new teacher, either new to the district or new to the profession, falls under the category of Service to the Profession and you are entitled to receive points for your efforts.

1. Use the PDC Log Form in MyLearningPlan.com to record the time you spend mentoring the individual. You need to record actual time that you spend rather than filling out an Activity Request Form and estimating a total number of points.

2. Each time you meet, you need to complete a Log Form.

3. When you decide that the mentoring process is finished, you may submit the log forms to the PDC for credit.

Supervising Student Teachers

Having a student teacher in your classroom is also an activity worthy of receiving points for your efforts. The process for receiving points for supervising a student teacher is the same as mentoring a teacher new to the district or profession.

1. Use the PDC Log Form in MyLearningPlan.com to track the time you actually converse with the student teacher, providing feedback and support. Do not include observation.

2. Each time you meet with the student teacher, complete a Log Form.

3. When the supervision period ends, you may submit the log forms to the PDC for credit.
