Thing # 2- Hardest habit

I would say the hardest habit at the moment is habit 7. I hate saying that since I am currently serving a mentor to a new teacher at my school. In the beginning, I was all about it. We would meet weekly for our 45 minutes. I realized as time and weeks went by... time is not on my side. Her plate and my plate keep piling up. I would definitely like to find more time to sit down and talk things through.

    I think you will find that mentoring happens often by "leading thru example"...your mentee teacher is probably learning far more from you thru observation than the conversations you long for! Don't get me wrong, the conversations are important too, but don't worry too much about the lack of time for them.

    I have a lot on my plate right now, too, and I'm about to get my first student teacher. I'm beyond nervous about it! I just want to make sure I teach her everything she needs to know!

    I understand about the mentor thing. You really mean well and want to do it right, but time just does not allow. Sometimes having a student teacher is helpful because they can help you with the little things as well.

    Keep in mind that having a student teacher can be a blessing, if you get the right one!
