The second innovation will be to provide teachers with mentors to help assistance in their grade level that they will be teaching. Thirdly, to make sure that teachers receive the resources that is needed to help them to be successful teachers.
In a pre-k -12 grade institution moving from a traditional to a modern transformational institution but, still implementing some of the traditional. As Glickman, Gordon, and Ross-Gordon mention, how does it happen that in the same school district, teachers in two schools view their work so differently from each other? In Meadow Valley Middle School, teachers come to school within 15 minutes of the required arrival time and leave school 15 minutes after the last bell. If a teacher arrives earlier or stays later, other teachers’ questions and glances make that teacher feel as if he or she shouldn’t be working more than the required time. To do so is to violate an unspoken norm …show more content…

When I first started teaching a mentor was provided for me so, that I wasn’t isolated from being successful in the classroom. As Glickman, Gordon, and Ross-Gordon discuss, how teachers work in isolation from one another. They view their classrooms as their personal domains, have little access to the ideas or strategies of their colleagues, and prefer to be left alone rather than engage with their colleagues or principals. Their professional practice is shrouded in a veil of privacy and personal autonomy and is not a subject for collective discussion or analysis (Glickman, C. D., Gordteon, S. P., & Ross-Gordon, J. M.

    The instructor would “hover” or “sit in” on our work, and offer guidance when we asked towards a predetermined goal. Knowing this, I have to be careful as a peer mentor not to intrude on the autonomy of students in my host class. In the future, I will try to integrate the “ingredients” of successful collaborative into mentoring. That is, I will only exercise my authority if my student has granted me the right, that I understand the right that has been given to me, that I am helping the student out of good will, and that there is a form of trust between myself and the student. Furthermore, following both Bruffee’s and Dewey’s beliefs, I have gained further appreciation for the group work I had done in the past.

By the time they do this, they might have less than a week to prepare themselves, their lessons, and their rooms (Towler). This is not an adequate amount of time for the teachers and it could impact students learning as well (Towler). Teachers also might have a hard time collaborating with each other because many of them are on different tracks (Towler). Students on different tracks might be learning completely different, or maybe even opposite lessons due to lack of collaboration between their teachers (Towler).
