Mutual Mentoring for Mid-Career Teachers
Trekking with Colleagues for Joy and Growth
Mentoring is for teachers across the career span!
In this helpful resource, authors Karen Weller Swanson and Micki M. Caskey show how mid-career mentoring can rejuvenate your joy of teaching, plan for career progressions, and build a healthy work-life balance.
The authors lay out a framework for mutual mentoring that uses a trekking metaphor and a choose-your-own-adventure style, which allows for individualized professional development focusing on topics most important to you. Through this approach, you will learn how to create a community of practice with other teachers, how to engage in dialogue about teaching and exchange ideas, methods for productively responding to challenges, and ideas for learning new skills and revising or abandoning practices.
The authors also cover how to establish healthy boundaries, create a sustainable practice, and implement plans to achieve professional goals. With this book, mid-career teachers will be able to thrive in a mentoring space that creates opportunities for them to embrace innovative and collaborative practices and explore their evolving personal and teacher identities.
