Comment by Lisa Michelle Dabbs on September 7, 2011 at 11:49am: Hi Jim! Absolutely. Click on the Google doc and scan through the names. See if any come up that can support your interest. Then just email them...letting them know that you found them through our Mentoring Program. Let me know when you connect with someone...Cheers!

Comment by Jim Kilmartin on September 7, 2011 at 12:35am: Hi Lisa,

Right now I'm working as a kindergarten Para. Can I participate in the Mentor program? I am certified in MA as a Visual Art Teacher (5-12) and I'll be taking the MTEL for General Curriculum in two weeks. I would love to have a mentor to get me through these early stages.

Comment by Lisa Michelle Dabbs on July 12, 2011 at 1:24pm: Just so you know, friends...I consistently share the mentoring services that this group is willing to provide in as many SM venues, as I can. We may see a larger opportunity to support educators, world-wide after the Reform Symposium in late July. http://reformsymposium.com/ Cheers to you all!

Comment by Catherine Douthard on June 15, 2011 at 5:56pm: Hi Lisa,

Finally got around to joining Educator PLN and the Teacher Mentoring Project. I am so excited to be connected to enthusiastic teachers of all levels! Look forward to sharing and making connections! My website is http://www.teachersclass.net/douthard.

Comment by Lauren Goldberg on May 15, 2011 at 10:40pm: Just joined this network. I'm eager to share resources and make connections with other educators around collaboration, mentoring, and best practices. Check out our blog/website at www.peersforum.org. We're hosting a fabulous summer institute at the end of June--we'd love to welcome new members.

Comment by Lisa Michelle Dabbs on April 13, 2011 at 11:12pm: Mike! Our peeps here would be so thrilled to connect with you. Let me know when you connect :)

Comment by Mike Vigilant on April 13, 2011 at 10:47pm: This is a great idea. It's my first year and a mentor from here would have absolutely helped with my insane first semester. I will look through the list of mentors and might just e-mail one. Thanks for setting this up. --Mike

Comment by Shawn Storm on April 13, 2011 at 4:34pm: You have a great idea here. I'm a sixth grade reading teacher - 13 years...always open to helping. Haven't been contacted yet either.

Whatever Would We Do Without the 'Black Hats'?

I was introduced to the 'Six Thinking Hats' as an Assistant Principal with PSD. A group of administrators had been reading the book and shared their learning through a really fun bag of hats - each hat in the bag a different color. Each hat represented collaboration in the task of looking at an existing landscape or an initiative from different perspectives. I was particularly intrigued by the black hat.As an administrator, the black hat can be the most challenging to work with - especially…See More
