Mentoring Skills

 * Tip from Tech and Learning Magazine - ** []

//Working with the Reluctant Adopter, June 27, 2003 05:00,// You know the teacher I'm talking about: the one who might say: As professional developers, we need to take in account all that teachers have on their plates plus change is difficult for many. We need to treat all teachers as professionals and provide personalized support: Personal support will go a long way with your reluctant teachers. You may find that they will become your biggest advocate.
 * I've taught this curriculum for 25 years and I'm not changing now.
 * Every time I touch the computer it breaks, so I'm not touching it.
 * It takes so long for all of my students to type their work that it's easier just having them write it in cursive.
 * I have so much curriculum to cover that I don't have time to use technology with my students.
 * Schedule time to meet with reluctant teachers in their classrooms.
 * Observe their classroom setup and their teaching practice.
 * Discuss with them their curriculum for the next month.
 * Create a simple lesson using technology and model it for them.
 * Observe them teaching the lesson.
 * Provide feedback and design another lesson with them.

CDE AEO Strategic Plan - [] OVAE Adult Ed and Literacy, Distance Learning and Technology - [] College and Readiness Standards for Adult Education [2013] - [] Implications of the National Education Technology Plan (NETP) for Adult Education [2013] - [] Computer-based testing for High School Diploma Equivalency - [] Computer-based testing for K-12 - EdSource Article 1, EdSource Article 2

Tom Sticht, International Consultant in Adult Education: "The first decade of the 21st century has witnessed a plethora of new projects, initiatives, and reports calling for reforms to adult basic education, workforce development, vocational training, and developmental education. Most of these activities and reports are calling for changes in the way basic skills, occupational skills, and postsecondary skills are taught. In all these activities, two major changes in instruction are called for: (1) the change from decontextualized to contextualized instruction, and (2) the change from sequential programs of instruction such as basic skills followed by vocational education, to integrated programs in which basic skills and vocational or college academic skills are taught together."
