Mentoring Questionnaire

In order to build an ultimate mentoring program for beginning teachers that will exceed your expectations, I want to hear from YOU directly. What you would want to see in a mentoring program to help you on your teaching journey.
I have some thank you gifts for your time spent on completing the form, which you will receive via email OR taken directly to the gifts once you hit submit.

STEP 1: Fill in the Questionnaire below

For every 10 teachers who complete this form, 9 of them report the same experiences around the extreme lack of support. The first is how little university has prepared them for practicums and being a classroom teacher, which I call, 'real world' teaching. The lack of preparation is resulting in high stress, impacting mental health and damaging self confidence. The same teachers, then report the lack of support once you become a teacher is even more evident and the stress consequently results in over 50% of teachers in their first 5 years leave the industry. These figures are absolutely NOT acceptable to me and I am determined to help teachers! This questionnaire is 100% confidential + your honesty in responding to these questions will help me to make real changes and support amazing passionate teachers like you!

Name

1. On a scale from 1-10, how hard have you worked + studied + sacrificed + stressed + focussed to become a teacher, with 10 being OMG I have given up so much and invested a lot of money, time, time with family/friends and personal sacrifice.

2. TELL ME ABOUT YOU + YOUR TEACHER JOURNEY SO FAR.... pre-service or graduated... seeking job, have a job, teaching 4 years..... need more support, develop confidence, lost confidence, feeling scared, bad experience, no mentor/support...)

This list has been compiled from the 2000+ responses over the past 2 years from beginning teachers who filled in this form. Should you want to add an area, please feel free in question 4.

4. In the last 6-12 months, have you felt stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, worried, exhausted, burnt out, lacked confidence, lost sleep, not eating well, questioned your ability to teach or choice in careers, because of the areas that university failed to prepare you teaching ?

5. Have you thought about what could happen if things stay as they are and nothing changes ? What it could cost you ? (health, time, stress, career, financially, dreams, mental health, wellbeing, self confidence, relationships, life, uni debt...)

6. If a mentoring program had (A) 90+% of everything you selected on this page, (B) enabled you to no longer experience what you listed in point 4, how valuable would that be to you, on a scale from 1-10 with 10 being OMG WORTH GOLD ?

7. Have a mentorship program as your support, what would it give you ? How would this improve your confidence, your stress levels, your life outside the classroom, your health, your sleep, your ability to teach, build rapport with students, your teaching confidence?

An individual who wants to become great in their chosen career, understands the value of investing into learning from an experience person who has travelled down the path you are on and achieved success. They recognise the value of having a person focussed on helping them be successful, navigate the journey and prepare them for what's ahead, sharpen skills, fast track learning, where to make adjustments to get greater results + share their skills, knowledge, insights & experiences to save them time, stress and pain... giving them an edge over others in their field or industry.

Having a mentor who empowers them to pursue their goals, dreams, achievements, widen their knowledge, how to learn efficiently, located effective tools + the encouragement to reach their full potential... is one of the best investments you can make in yourself.

8. What would you be willing to invest in YOU, so you can access the support, mentoring + resources you selected in point 3... to alivate the stress and issues you listed in point 4 ? (select as many as you like below)

Beginning Teachers are some of the most enthusiastic + passionate individuals who are being let down by the lack of training and support!!

Helping them reduce stress & providing the teaching tools / training / documents / so they can finally feel confident is the most rewarding work I have ever been apart of!

This survey will ensure I include mentoring + training to help YOU specifically where you need.

This is my promise to all my mentees. If you tell me where you need support, I will build it + include it!
