S8 Episode 9: Growing Together: A Mentor and Mentee Conversation

As you’ll hear in this episode, great mentoring is based on relationships. Today, you’ll join 3Ps hosts Danielle and Kathleen in hearing about the relationship and the learning shared between Ginny Sautner, a new teacher mentor, and Allie Oskolkoff, a first-year teacher, both from Lake Havasu Unified School District.

The two discuss the mindset that makes mentoring most effective, the importance of mentoring in the first years of teaching, and the gratitude they have for each other. 

You’ll also hear host Kathleen share about her experiences as a new teacher mentor and the power of personalization in that work.

Both Kathleen and Ginny are featured in the Center’s publication Building a Culture of Induction: Case Studies in Mentoring. You can find additional Arizona K12 Center resources for beginning teachers and mentors at this link.

Being an educator in the 21st century is indescribably complex. There’s a constant pressure to meet standards and help students achieve, but there’s also a need to allow learners to color outside the lines in an effort to prompt creativity. To support educators along the continuum, the Center developed “3Ps in a Pod” to further dissect practice, policy, and passion in the field of education.
