Sunday October 25th- Article Reflection

We clearly learn from our peers.There is a mentoring program at my school and most of the time a master teacher is the mentor. Although sometimes this does not happen. Therefore like it says in the article good things might not happen if a new teacher is set up with a teacher that is lacking in teaching skills.In the article it talks more about this in regards to urban and suburban schools. The new teacher starts off in the inner-city teaching and there are mostly new teachers because they are not staying very long. The problem they found is that highly-qualified are not in the inner-city schools so that new teacher do not have mentors leading them to success. It is mentioned in the artiicle that mentoring maybe a waste of time in some cases. But I believe for the most part it is a positive thing to have. There might be a teacher that is more-skilled but there are always things to learn when you are the new person in the school. Having a mentor will be beneficial.
