The School and Support Systems

Chapter

This is not about subservience, but about demonstrating your commitment to the school’s mission and showing that you are a dependable team player. By fulfilling their requests without hesitation, you build a foundation of trust that often leads to more autonomy in the classroom. The Dynamics of Mentorship The Evaluative Role: You must accept that your CT is the gatekeeper of your success. As a pre-service teacher stated "at the end of the day, they are the ones giving you your grades." This realization should motivate you to maintain a high standard of work, as their perception of your reliability is as important as your actual teaching demonstrations. The Guidance of Experience: A veteran CT offers insights that no textbook can provide. When they critique your classroom management or suggest a change in your motivational activity, they are offering you the "blueprints" of a seasoned professional. Learning to take this feedback with grace is a key sign of your transformation. How will you initiate a "good relationship" with your CT on your very first day of deployment? When your CT gives you a task that feels outside your teaching duties, how will you frame it as a learning opportunity? What steps will you take to ensure that your CT feels their classroom is in safe and capable hands when you are leading?
