meeting schedules between mentor and mentee. Meetings should
ideally take place once per fortnight thereafter once per month.
Mentor should assist mentee in developing their teaching portfolio
Monitor progress against agreed goals and time-lines Affirm and
develop the strengths and work on weaknesses of mentee
Slide 9
Mentors Review mentees professional goals and adjust
development plan accordingly. Plans should ideally be discussed at
the beginning of the year and reviewed at the end Introduce mentee
to formal and informal collegial & information networks Support
or direct mentee to areas that can provide specialized support
where necessary Share information relating to teaching &
learning and research Assist mentee in understanding policies &
procedures of your district

all areas related to their position Encourage and assist mentee to

McREL Stands for Mid-continent Research for Education and
Learning. It is a research and development corporation in Denver.
Dr. Robert Marzano, Dr. Debra Pickering, and Dr. Jane Pollack wrote
a book called Classroom Instruction that Works while they worked
for McREL. The strategies come from that book. They are often
referred to as Marzanos strategies, but technically McREL owns
them.
Slide 15
Meta-Analysis Marzano, Pickering, and Pollock wanted to know
what strategies were the most effective teaching strategies.
Instead of designing a new study, they searched existing research
and identified 9 strategies that work. Called a meta-analysis
because they analyzed so many studies to derive the
conclusions.
