Using the <em>peer mentoring<\/em> approach to professional learning, teachers will work alongside each other to build specific workplace knowledge and skills in a safe and supportive environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To kick start their project, the team spent the first Action Research session learning about how peer mentoring works and identifying the specific area of skill and\/or knowledge that each teacher wanted to improve. They then worked on matching teachers with colleagues who had expertise in these identified areas for growth. From here, they will develop mentoring agreements that will identify the strategies and timeline that will be used to share expertise including opportunities for modelling, practice and feedback. Once this model has been trialled and its impact measured, it will be shared with other faculties who may also benefit from such a program. I\u2019m looking forward to learning what comes out of the early stages of this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kate Corcoran <\/strong><br>Action Research Coordinator<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/04\/IMG_0095-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/04\/IMG_0095-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/04\/IMG_0095-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/04\/IMG_0095-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/04\/IMG_0095-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/04\/IMG_0095-1-145x109.jpg 145w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/04\/IMG_0095-1-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/04\/IMG_0095-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/04\/IMG_0095-1-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/04\/IMG_0095-1.jpg 1276w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With their vast range of career stages, academic qualifications and professional learning experiences, not to mention their highly collaborative culture, it makes perfect sense for the Maths Faculty to use this year\u2019s Action Research to focus on learning from each other.\u00a0 This project will involve the development of a mentoring model that creates a structure [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15772,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","article_category":[4],"article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-15770","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article_category-secondary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/15770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15770"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=15770"},{"taxonomy":"article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_tag?post=15770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
