REGISTRATION OPENS FRIDAY, AUGUST 1 AT 7:00 AM!
Facilitated by: Kayla Paquette, RECE, Strive Community Animator and Nyiel Nhial, RECE, Strive Community Animator
In this session, we’ll explore what mentorship truly means in the early years sector – breaking down common myths and uncovering the many ways you may already be participating in mentorship without even realizing it. Together, we’ll reflect on your own strengths, strategies, and approaches, helping you identify the mentor within yourself. Whether or not you hold a formal title or designated mentoring position, this session will empower you to see how you support, guide, and inspire others in your daily practice.
Pedagogical Focuses: Belonging - Engagement - Expression - Well-Being - Leadership
Standards of Practice: Standard IV: Professionalism and Leadership
