Oh dear - I wrote a letter to this list Tadashi and it doesn't seem to be
showing and I see Sarah's next one showed immediately.
I'll try again.
I was interested to see in Kounai Ken that you spend a lot of time
developing the qualities of your mentors. This is particularly important but
so often a missed step in mentoring programmes. I was interested in how you
get them to think back to their own fist year teaching as part of developing
empathy. Susan Moor Johnson's work in Boston has found that the mentoring of
new teachers is often better done by teachers who are closer to their age
and experience as sometimes with expert experienced teachers the gap is just
too wide for them to bridge. have you found anything like this in your
research I wonder?
Kind regards
Jan
