Coaching & Mentoring "I have found my work with Rabbi Elimelech Gottlieb to be extremely helpful. Because of his experience, he has "seen it all." His wisdom, knowledge and sense of humor allow him to translate his experience into insightful advice and practical assistance. I have found him to be tremendously helpful and warmly recommend him to others." Rabbi Shmuel Jablon Head of School 'Philadelphia Torah Academy
Why professional mentoring? Because principals are leading while learning to lead. Regardless of the level of a principal’s prior preparation or training, real learning for principals begins with the job. Mentoring is one of the single most critical components in a novice principal’s or a principal who has advanced in his or her career, achieving success. Novice principals particularly face numerous challenges.
What are the objectives of mentoring? While every program is tailored to each school’s and principal’s individual needs our programs are based on meeting the following objectives: Providing support and guidance to help the new principal’s transition into the principalship within their individual context. Familiarizing principals with the functions and responsibilities of their position and the culture and systems of schools Offering opportunities to further knowledge, skills and attitudes for the principalship including: o Communication o Organization & prioritization o Judgement o Results orientation o Analysis & reflection o Development of others
