Introduction
Introduction
In Introduction to Instructional Mentoring (IIM), we introduced Adult Learning Principles and the Professional Life Cycle of Teachers to give us a deeper understanding of our mentees as adults and as professional teachers. This is in line with SIMA, under the focus area, Localising Mentoring and its process, Know Self and Mentee.
It is only with close observation and sensitivity to our mentee's current state that we can better customise our support to meet their learning needs.
Attitudinal Phases
Attitudinal Phases
We would like to share another research conducted by the New Teacher Centre (NTC) among 83 Beginning Teachers. Below are the five phases that a first year teacher goes through in a typical academic year are: Anticipation, Survival, Disillusionment, Rejuvenation and Reflection (Refer to Participant Packet Page 7). This cycle could repeat itself after Reflection as the mentee renews his/her commitment to do better for the new academic year.

Reflection on your Case Study Teacher
Think of your Case Study Teacher that you identified in the earlier session.
What are the attitudes toward teaching that this Case Study Teacher has recently exhibited?
Refer to the infographic below.
Based on your assessment of the attitudinal phase your Case Study Teacher is in, what would be the support or challenge that you could provide to him/her? In the next segment, we will introduce the Support and Challenge Matrix for your consideration.
