Taking on the mentor role again

As I have in the last two years, I'm taking on the role of mentor teacher again. This time however, I will be working with another teacher instead of a student teacher. Lindblom has created their own new teacher mentoring program (one that will likely be head and shoulders above the one CPS put together) for first and second year teachers. The teacher I am working with is, like me, a career changer although she worked for much longer outside of education than me. I'm very excited about the opportunity and I'm hopeful we'll be able to work well together.

In addition, there will be a grad student from Northwestern who will be observing my class once a week. She's about to begin her student teaching in a couple of months and is working with the entire history department for her pre-student teaching clinical hours. I've only met her once but she was very eager and had a lot of questions. I'm looking forward to the challenge in this new environment.
