I am sorry you kind of got thrown to the wolves your first year. I am happy (though not surprised) to hear there were teachers who stepped up and took on the mentoring role unofficially. Isn't that ONE of the many things that truly makes our profession GREAT!! I hope that support continues. I am headed to your blog now to link up! Have a great year and I look forward to connecting through blogging through out the year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035614570990188968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986679932194126195.post-26846462605100145412013-08-12T06:44:20.761-07:002013-08-12T06:44:20.761-07:00Sara- Congrats on the new baby!

I was very disappointed that my first year teaching our state took away stipends for mentors, so I didn't get that much help. I did have a few teachers who stood by my side and helped me a lot but it would've been great to know that I had one specific teacher to rely on when I really needed it. Good luck! <br /><br />I'm really trying to get connected into the blogging world and I absolutely love following you! Maybe you could do the same for me? You are awesome!<br /><br />Jamie :-)<br /><br />www.mommywifeteachercook.blogspot.comLife As I Know It...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05400743558111056658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986679932194126195.post-69819229702254040862013-08-11T13:36:02.656-07:002013-08-11T13:36:02.656-07:00I also was a mentor last year and felt I didn'...I also was a mentor last year and felt I didn't do very much. The new teacher I had worked in my room as a para for two years, so he knew a lot about the school and students. This year, I will be mentoring him again (it's a 4 year program) and 2 new teachers. I have taken notes on your suggestions.
