Points of view

Good mentoring means guiding student teachers in forming their own points of view regarding all aspects of teaching as a profession. There is nothing wrong in sharing your point of view of teaching and what it means to you in terms of personal and professional rewards. A worthy mentor teacher will encourage student teachers to believe that, no matter what, they can be real agents of change.

To avoid simply coaching student teachers to mimic you and your practices, you need to encourage a balanced understanding of what it means to teach.
