Creating and Facilitating Meetings  That Promote Mentor  and New Teacher Development Background The New Teacher Center-Wisconsin (NTP-WI) and the Dane County New Teacher Project (DCNTP) offer this unique opportunity to train those who work with those newest to the teaching profession. The NTP-WI is affiliated with The New Teacher Center at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The NTP-WI, in learning from the Santa Cruz model, has adapted much of the California training and revised it so that it strongly reflects the Wisconsin Teacher Standards and supports districts as they meet the requirements of PI34. Content Mentors who work with beginning teachers find themselves in a new professional leadership role - one that requires learning new skills and examining challenges of practice. As we create a supportive environment and learning opportunities for new teachers, it is important that we also create a collaborative learning environment for mentors to develop skills, gain knowledge, and problem-solve issues of mentoring. Participants in this one-day workshop will engage in a real-time staff meeting model, with stop-action briefing along the way. Training Topics Learning a Conceptual Framework for Meeting Design Creating a Scope and Sequence for the Curriculum of Mentoring Experiencing a Meeting Design that Promotes Professional Development Developing Skills and Strategies that Build Collaborative Cultures Building Personal Capacity as an Educational Leader Understanding the Mentor's Role in the Professionalization of Teaching Intended Audience This training is particularly appropriate for those who are responsible for designing and conducting staff meetings for teachers who support other teachers in improving practice. Mentors, district mentor coordinators, C&I directors, and administrators are encouraged to attend.
