| January 14-16 Regional Mentor Training Cohort |
Each time we wrap up a South Carolina Initial Mentor Training I am reminded of why we do the things that we do each day! It is a joy to know that new teachers entering the education profession will benefit from opportunities to collaborate with veteran colleagues who are committed to moving beyond the buddy system of mentoring! Our January 2014 cohort is ready to mentor! Mentors from around SC gathered together to move mentoring initiatives forward in their local areas. Since 2007--08, we have trained over 11,000 certified mentors. We have also worked to build local capacity to keep the work moving forward by supporting the leadership capacity of district mentor leaders. We offer the Train the Trainer series twice a year to assist districts in supporting teacher leaders as they lead local trainings. Upon completion of Train the Trainer, certified mentors co-train with a certified trainer in order to complete the requirements to become a trainer. We welcome Denise Broome from Aiken and Renae Caldwell from Clarendon 1 as our newest certified trainers. We will host our next regional initial mentor training in March. Our next Trainer Training will be held in April! Check out the mentoring tab on the cerra.org website for more information on upcoming trainings!
