Stories for Mentoring and Support for Novice Teachers in Classical Christian Schools – Katherine Schultz

Back to Conference Home

2024 Workshop Talk | | Leadership & Strategic, Teacher & Classroom

Summary

In the realm of the fictional St. Augustine’s Classical Christian School, a mentorship adventure unfolds. Join a new teacher, her mentor, and their supervisor on a mentorship journey, navigating challenges, nurturing a supportive culture, and sprouting a master teacher in the making.

It’s a tale of mutual growth and profound impact, complete with a moral of the story (or a few) for you to implement. Mentorship is not just duty but a privilege that enriches our mission.

Through ongoing international work, she continues to invest her time in helping schools, teachers, and their students align their beliefs, behavior, and attitudes to a Christian worldview.
