How Can I Be An Effective Mentor To My Peers?
If you think back to your first few years as an educator, I'm almost sure you will find at least someone you were you able to look up to and call a mentor. Mentors come in all forms and quite often they are the reason you became the educator you are today.
In this episode of the TechEducator Podcast, we discuss the topic of mentoring and coaching from a variety of angles including the Student/Teacher relationship, Technology Coach / Teacher relationship, and Teacher to student relationship.
