Focused Mentoring is a component of instructional mentoring aimed at developing specific skills and competencies to improve the instructional practices of resident educators. While mentoring overall addresses the instructional support resident educators need as they begin their professional teaching careers, focused mentoring is specific and targeted to address teacher competencies that Ohio once measured in the Resident Educator Summative Assessment (RESA).
Focused Mentoring is delivered in two parts.
Focused Mentoring 1 targets communication, collaboration and professional growth.
Focused Mentoring 2 targets use of student formative and summative assessment in year 2.
The program topics include:
Focused Mentoring 1 and
Focused Mentoring 2 . The courses may be taken by individual resident educators or facilitated by the mentor for a group of resident educators. Educators may choose to complete all courses in a program or parts of the program by choosing only the courses needed to address the individual needs of each resident educator.
