Overcoming Time Constraints: How Video Transforms Mentorship

Time is a challenge for mentors–but video makes feedback and collaboration easier than ever

Mentors are stretched thin, balancing their own classrooms while supporting new teachers. With GoReact, video observations eliminate scheduling barriers, making mentorship more flexible, data-driven, and impactful–without pulling mentors away from their students. Watch the full webinar.

Erin Stanley:
What are some of the current challenges do you feel like are happening with mentors?

Ann Stark:
I think that one of the things is as teachers, we’re always really, really busy. There’s always those time constraints. And for mentors like myself who are in the classroom to try to get release time to go do observations on my new teacher candidates, that’s always a challenge. So having the GoReact option of recording the video has been a huge game changer for me to be able to not have to be out of my classroom so much to do my observations, and then having the data to look at together to help ease into some of those hard conversations so that they then have a partner in improvement and somebody to work with to come up to collaboratively find solutions for them to be able to grow across the standards.
