Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.

"Motivation and self-directed learning — Understanding the dynamics of the relationships among motivation, self-discovery, and learning can provide the foundation needed to adequately take advantage of on-the-job training opportunities. Becoming more attuned to what motivates each teacher (smoother transitions, happier children, recognition for accomplishments) enables the director to highlight an opportunity for growth and then provide the resources and support needed for self-directed learning to occur.
"Reflection, transformative learning, and the subjective way of knowing — Bridging the gap between the teacher’s own classroom learning and her classroom teaching practices often hinges on the amount of reflection that occurs. Directors have a unique opportunity to facilitate reflection by asking key questions of their staff throughout the day that will serve to connect ongoing experiences (very important to the subjective knower) with content being taught in settings outside the center."

Mentoring staff is about a shared-partnership, giving them choices on what they wish to focus on, among a list of ideas, and then brainstorm together, have the staff choise the time to be observed, and what issue to be observed on. Then have an observation/feedback session on what took place, what worked or didn't, snd new ideas to try next time...:)
