During the pre-conference, identify with the beginning teacher areas for improvement and include recommendations on the effective use of technology.
Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the principal mentor and, provided permission, seek opportunities to observe and/or assist the principal mentor.
After completing your coaching cycle, address the following in a 750-1,000 word summary and reflection:
