Social Media Mentoring Designed for Mentees: Classroom Teachers of Identified and Non-Identified Gifted Children And Mentors: Gifted Education Teachers and other Experts in the Gifted-Talented Field Group Name: International Teachers of Gifted Mentoring Network (Facebook group) Sponsored by: International Gifted Education Teacher-Development, Network (IGET-Network, LLC) iget-network.org CLASSROOM TEACHERS MENTORING GROUP What is the purpose of Social Media Mentoring? Some primary school teachers believe they have recognized children in their classrooms who are exceptionally bright and performing two or three grade levels beyond their peers. The purpose of our Social Media Mentoring group is to connect these primary school teachers (Mentees) with International gifted education specialists/experts (Mentors), who can provide them with classroom guidance, support and alternative teaching methods. How does Social Media Mentoring work? The IGET-Network FACEBOOK mentoring support group is an international communication exchange between Mentees and their international Mentors via informal group discussions. Who is eligible to participate? While the focus is on attracting beginning teachers as mentees, any classroom teacher currently employed in k-12 schools (within the United States and globally) may participate. Our target audiences are teacher mentees or other school personnel in countries where gifted education is not written into school governance policies. We attempt to bring best practices in the field to areas where classroom teachers have not earned advanced credentials in the g/t field. Parents/Guardians may also participate. How do I join? Group Membership is by administrative invitation only. What is the cost? There is no cost. What other requirements to participate? We require that members participate on a regular basis by commenting in one way or another (eg., Likes). We require the observance of professional ethics: such as not referring to individuals by actual named and acknowledgement of sources.
