As educators, we are always looking for opportunities to grow professionally and bring new ideas to the classroom. Being a mentor will help other FCS teachers feel “Empowered” through the many “Innovative” classroom strategies. Being a mentee invites professional growth but also less confusion of delivering classroom content. Being a mentee/mentor allows mentors to advise a mentee on big-picture issues like career path, while also helping to negotiate more day-to-day issues like office politics, processes, and relationships with peers and superiors. This session will be geared towards goal setting and achievement strategies; communication and interpersonal skills; problem-solving and critical thinking; and leadership and teamwork. We will also focus on building strong relationships, securing and developing resources, leading change amid ambiguity, and driving vision and purpose to motivate others.
