This learning opportunity is our next level of mentor and coaching training designed for mentors and coaches supporting beginning teachers. Utilizing the New Teacher Center philosophy and model, Advanced Mentor Institute will focus on creating conditions for equitable instruction, mentoring every learner, advancing instruction to support language development, and analyzing mentor impact. We have realigned this training to better meet the needs of Arizona teachers and mentors. The learning is sequenced to build on knowledge, skills, and understanding, all of which are critical for new teacher mentors, in a range of program contexts.
*Prerequisite: Mentor Institute must be completed prior to attending Advanced Mentor Institute. This will ensure that participants have the foundational knowledge and skills to explore these new topics.
- Explore bias and mindsets focusing on how that influences teaching, learning and coaching practices.
- Utilize coaching knowledge and skills to advance instruction to support language acquisition and development (academic language and English learners).
- Develop a deeper understanding of Learner Variability and the implications for all learners.
- Promote culturally responsive teaching, Universal Design for Learning, and academic vocabulary development as vehicles to equitable instruction.
- Leverage the relationships and trust established throughout year one (both with teachers and within the cadre) to address issues of inequity and support coaching and instructional practices that disrupt those patterns.
