The MLTAWA is launching its inaugural Mentoring program for 2025. It connects a beginning teacher with an accomplished teacher of the same language to provide networking and support. Through this 12-month program teachers participate in collaborative professional learning and collegiate classroom visits and have regular online contact to respond to the needs of the beginning teacher. This program also offers experienced teachers of Languages leadership opportunities through their role as mentor. This program is only open to MLTAWA Members.
Participation in the Mentoring Network provides:
- partnership between a beginning and accomplished teacher of the same language
- a 50% discount to MLTAWA Professional Learning providing both the mentor and mentee attend together
- participation in an online Mentoring Network session each term
The intended outcomes of the project include:
- improved teaching practice
- increased awareness of resources and support available to strengthen Languages teaching and learning
- expanded connections between teachers of Languages
- increased retention of teachers in the profession
The WA program is based on that of the MLTA Victoria which has been successfully running since 2004. To find out more about the program, watch the clip created about the MLTAV program.
