The two novice teachers were hired to serve as mentors to new teachers in or near their school. Interviews with the teachers about their experiences identified three areas of discussion as a result of their mentoring role that included reflection on the impact to their own practice, identification of the need for time management skills, and realization of the reasons for mentoring. The results of the novice teachers serving as mentors were positive for the mentors and helped to set the stage to sustain the mentoring program.

Teaching during a global pandemic has challenged us and shifted much of our teaching. We\u27re over it... but are we? We may be over the pandemic, but what about the big shifts we had in our teaching this year? How will these forever change our pedagogy and our content? What things from this year will we take with us into our future teaching? Join us for a 1-hour reflective discussion about how the pandemic has changed our teaching and how we may find the silver lining in some of challenges and changes. To be an intentional teacher we must reflect, join us in this group reflection to reflect our teaching from this academic year

Teaching will look different after a pandemic and teaching is always evolving. How do we find the joy in teaching and savor the process? We will read various authors\u27, researchers\u27, and approaches to how we focus on teaching without losing the context of what is going on in our world. This will be a learning circle you won\u27t want to miss! (many analogies to cooking will be used and it will be delicious). Please join us for a 4-meeting opportunity to focus on your teaching in a learning community. You will find this opportunity to be engaging, motivating, and beneficial to you as the instructor, but most importantly to your students

Often their programs include learning how to engage and work with parents in a collaborative nature for the betterment of the educational process. This article will focus on the advice of two parents to future teachers who will teach children with exceptionalities. Although many people traditionally have referred to children who have differences, limitations, or delays limitations or delays as disabled, this article will refer to them as exceptional. Although my co-authors and I attempt to give advice and direction to future teachers, we acknowledge that this article is limited only to the perspective of two parents.. Many other parents have wonderful advice to share, and we hope that this article encourages dialogues between parents and teachers to promote compassion and understanding about living with exceptionalities.
