1. Why do you wish to participate in the Project Pipeline Repair program as a mentor?

As an educator, I understand that negative impact of not having a highly qualified teacher in every classroom. In the last decade, people have decided not to study education and many educators have left field. Therefore, I believe it is of the upmost importance to identify future educators at an early age. Moreover, this project will have a positive impact on students at Jefferson County High School. As a life-long learner, I believe it is crucial that I set the example for my students. It is my desire to make this a great experience for them and to learn new things as we matriculate through the program.

3. What expectations would you have of your mentees?

I have high expectations for all of my mentees. I expect them to have a positive attitude about the project. I expect them to be deeply engaged in the activities and complete all tasks in a timely manner. In addition, I expect for them to attend every session. When they do not know something, I expect for them to ask questions. In the end, I expect for them to excel in the program and acquire the knowledge and skill set to be dynamic educators.

4. List your experience with mentoring relationships (as a mentor, a mentee, or both).

I often tell the story of how my mentors changed my life. For a long time, I was unsure about the direction I wanted to take my career. It was only when I had a long conversation with one of my mentors that I realized education was the right field for me. My mentors were also instrumental in changing my mindset about school, work, and life.

I have served in several advisory roles Since graduating from college. I am one of the advisors for Gamma Pi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi. I am also the advisor for Fayette Kappa League. In addition, I started Guy in Ties, a character education initiative for males to build confidence and address behavioral problems.

    As the time approached, my attitude toward student-teaching was one of confidence and in some ways overconfidence. I believed that I was equipped with all of the tools necessary to be a superior teacher. Little did I know what truly goes on behind the scenes of a teacher. Between grading papers, attending meetings, and preparing lessons, I would often feel overwhelmed. Still, student teaching would prove to be much more valuable than I anticipated. It would teach me to appreciate the wisdom of mentors and experienced teachers, value or being organized and prepared, and lastly the resilience of students.

    Mentors and mentees each benefit from successful relationships with one another due to the newfound success for the mentee and the the satisfaction reward for the mentor by seeing a person they guided make an achievement. Success from one of these relationships was found in a study conducted during 2015, where 1,139 students  from 11 years and above in different school districts served as subjects. In the study, half of the adolescents received mentors while the other half would receive one following the study. After students with a mentor spent time with them, the students were provided with a survey in which students who reported their relationship with their mentor was “close” or “somewhat close” had widespread academic improvement. As a result of the experiment, it is evident that a significant number of students benefit from a mentor being by their side. If the mentee sensed an emotional connection with the mentor, that was all they needed to succeed in school, even though academic-related tasks may not have been on the agenda for the mentors and mentees during their time together

  • SCRIP Assessment: Becoming A Good Teacher

    731 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the entire of the project, I learned how to become a good teacher. Becoming an educator is not all about imparting knowledge to the learners, but also involves molding them into mature, skillful and wise individuals (Roy‐Campbell, 2012). Sometimes if not all, learners regard the teachers as most dear persons and students will in most cases confide and trust their teachers more than anyone else. So becoming an excellent educator means walking that extra mile for the sake of my students to allow them to learn in the best manner there is and enjoy being in class. Also, I used various data that helped me make informed decisions and only made choices after considering my experiences and

  • The Piagetian Theory and Early Childhood Education

    1345 Words  | 3 Pages

    Children are our inspiration. They are the reason that educators today need to be more than sufficient in teaching, but remarkable at teaching. Children are little sponges that absorb knowledge quickly and abundantly and with guidance, can achieve great goals in their academic life. Children are the future. As teachers, we need to educate ourselves as much as possible so that we can better educate the future generations. “Piaget, working with children, found that the growth of their ideas is a process spread over years,” (Sawyer, 2003, p.6). Teachers, families and communities must support one another in learning and educating our young children. If we don’t spend the time necessary to learn and broaden our knowledge, our children suffer, our future suffers.

    Society, schools, and students are becoming increasingly diverse every day. We have put people into space and on the moon because of major discoveries in science and technology. We have come from making computers that were so large only one could be put in a single room, to making them small enough to hold in our lap. Being a teacher is just as hard as being a scientist. A teacher in today’s classroom must be able to prepare our students for the ever-changing world and teach them how to survive in it. They must be able to teach students a basic curriculum, hot to use and expand that curriculum, and show them how it will be relevant in their every day life. Every day brings a new change and a successful teacher must be ready to accept these changes and bring them into the classroom.
