Mentoring and Advising

Mentoring and advising in teaching create a strong foundation for continuous growth, collaboration, and excellence in education. Effective mentoring offers teachers a structured path to refine their instructional skills, gain new perspectives, and address challenges with the guidance of experienced mentors.

This process encourages open communication, where mentees feel comfortable sharing their successes and areas for growth, while mentors provide feedback that’s constructive and focused on positive change.
