Mentoring New Members

Buzzing BEE Beginning Teachers mentorship is in full swing! We have adopted the newly initially licensed teachers for Carteret County! See your email from Cathy Tomon for full details. (We cannot post because of privacy.)

This project invites NC DKG chapters to establish specific plans their

members will take to show support for our newest teachers. Chapter

members will brainstorm ways to offer support to beginning teachers in

their surrounding schools/districts.

The good deeds may range from

• card or small tokens along with a note to say ‘thanks for choosing

to be a teacher”

• being invited to a chapter meeting’s Panel Discussion on “what is

it like to be a beginning teacher at this point in time”

• members hosting a “coffee and conversation time” and inviting

beginning teachers to share their questions and receive

encouragement.

The designated DKD for DKG member will need to write up a

description of each “kind deed” or activity to be submitted for ten point

each for the Chapter Achievement Award. Think of the points as the

number of attempts your chapter has made towards retaining great

teachers, thanking them for all of those thankless day in and day out responsibilities but also showing how an organization of key women

educators supports those just starting out in this most important job.
