I began having communication with her since the end of last school year, going over basic questions and introductions about Monterrey and ASFM.

One of the requests she had was to have a mentor who would check in with her every week to see how she is doing. We have been meeting regularly in my classroom and we debrief about how things are going for her. Overall, I believe she is adjusting well and has started to have connections with students and teachers.

During the school year I was able to help Freda with Powerschool, getting around the city, school protocols and just making sure she had someone to touch base with. I believe we had a good relationship that has grown into a friendship.

SCHOOL YEAR 2010-2011
Last school year I completed a positive observational review through Admin. Because of this, I had the choice of staying in the same band or to become a Mentor for teachers who were going to go through the review cycle. I decided to become a mentor and Alejandra Chavez and Bobby Belden were my mentees.

Through the year, the three of us met on various occasions and we had discussions about their classes, pedagogy and approaches to teaching our students. By the end of the year we had gone over various strategies and approaches to our daily teachings. I believe we all learned and grew form working with each other and I look forward to having more opportunities like this one.
