1. How would you describe the culture within your organization (ways in which co-workers interact or don’t interact) and how does this fit with your “ideal” employer?
in my mentorship, the culture is very friendly and professional. A lot of teamwork is involved, mainly between all the teachers. The co-workers are very close and are always open to helping each other out.
2. Describe the way in which the organization collaborates with other groups in the area.
At the elementary school, all groups interact with each other in one way or another. Between taking kids to specials, assemblies, and clusters, teachers from all over the school are always interacting with each other.
3. In what ways have you experienced or witnessed either informal or formal mentoring taking place within the organization, other than the mentoring you are experiencing?
In the first grade classroom, I have come across difficult experiences, to where I did not know how to properly handle it. One example would be the constant misbehavior of a child, and not knowing how to to give the proper consequence. My mentor then would come in and handled the situation formally and in the right way, which taught me another new skill.
