Intro: Time to talk may be most valuable part of our time together – this time it’s at the meeting and not in a bar. Need to use things to make PD stick C Mentoring in long term – next month, next year – down the road Building a relationship Knowing where Cs are coming from and where they are headed to Cs were peers so it was awkward with their colleagues – not Ts and not admin – needed support of Mentors TIMs or IUs relationships with Ds might not be great. Some TIMS meet with D leaders regularly, some have to ask multiple permissions to meet with them Some TIMs can use the Supts list-serve – oooooh! PDE Mentor role is different than PIIC mentor role – PIIC mentor more like TIMS because they work more closely, more 1-1 with Cs Disjointed from the top down. Communication, job roles, all. High degree of variability. There was no master plan for progression of Cs. From Keystones, to TIMS, to… C meetings – TIMS as mentor, TIMS as PD provider, TIMS as information sharer, TIMS as resource provider TIMS do discuss how they do their C meetings – and share ideas with each other Some Ds have their own data Cs. Coaching initiatives are disjointed – solution = to joint them – IU TIMS could be the link to help Ds make the connections. Have TIMS be both TIMS and PIIC Mentors – could bring pieces together Analyzing all the things that are done, the resources, the options to create progression plan Exec Directors don’t know what TIMS do and their successes – solution: have PDE Mentors tell Exec Dirs about TIMS good work when they visit Could TIMS make sure that leadership teams are meeting? Support Cs in having regular meetings PDE Mentors have “so little teeth” right now. Some teeth with with Cohort 3, but little with others. Make To Do list for PDE Mentors – Do this in the afternoon – Action Items for PDE Mentors Can Cs become experts in “hot” enough topics so that Ds will sustain them? Can TIMS help with this?
