Guidelines for Induction and Mentoring workshops

Whaia te mātauranga, whaia te māramatanga. Tihei mauri ora.

We are providing additional workshops to introduce the new Guidelines for Induction and Mentoring and Mentor Teachers in March/April 2012. Workshops in 2011 were highly successful and we urge those professional leaders and mentor leaders to take advantage of this further opportunity to explore the new resource.

The Guidelines provide the essential features of high quality induction and mentoring, and describe the key skills and attributes required for effective mentoring of teachers, whether they are provisionally registered, subject to confirmation or overseas trained teachers. The Guidelines were developed as a result of the Council's research programme Learning to Teach (2007-2008) and were tested in pilot programmes in 2009 and 2010.

Workshop enrolment details 

The programme for the workshops is listed below.  Information about unconfirmed venues will be updated as soon as possible.

Enrol today: If you would like to attend please email Clair Oliver at clair.oliver@teacherscouncil.govt.nz and attach a completed copy of the workshop registration form. (There is a non-refundable fee of $25.  If paying by cheque please ensure this arrives at the Council prior to the workshop).

Attendees: As a general guideline, attendees should be professional leaders and mentor leaders. No more than three people per school/centre should enrol but this may vary depending on demand for individual workshops. If you would like more than three people from your school or centre to attend we will have a waitlist for each workshop.
