Mentors Rock!

The students and faculty at South Florence High School have rolled out the welcome mat and have embraced our work with open arms. I am grateful for the opportunity to conduct the Pee Dee Regional Initial Mentor Training on the campus. Schools are buzzing with life, laughter, and the wonderful sounds of learning. When I walked into the media center to set up yesterday afternoon, I was greeted with the beautiful banner created by students!

Today rocked! Not only did we have the chance to work with passionate teacher leaders, but we also had a rare opportunity to merge recruitment, retention, and advancement efforts with Mary Glover's high school Teacher Cadets. As part of their work today, the students had a chance to observe adult learners in action, witness the level of commitment our mentors have to providing quality support for beginning teachers, and participate in our Bright Ideas Activity. I agree wholeheartedly, "Mentors Rock!" Check out some of the images of our work together today!
