MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

Dear Band Director

Congratulations on finishing your degrees and accepting your new teaching position in Saskatchewan. As members of the Board of Directors for the Saskatchewan Band Association, Tana Brown and myself would like to welcome you to the teaching profession and to the SBA. Along with your complimentary membership for your first year of teaching, we would also like to invite you to join the SBA Mentorship Program.

This program will pair you with an experienced band director who will be able to answer questions, and provide you with support throughout your first years of teaching. If you would email back the following information, we will get you paired up with another band director as soon as possible.

Although this program will mainly focus on yourself and your mentor, we will be having a mentor-mentee breakfast for everyone involved in the program at the Saskatchewan Music Conference November 3, 8:00am at the Regina Travelodge. There will also be a specific session for first year teachers “Band Aids: How to Survive the First Years Teaching” on Friday November 2, 9:45 am. More details will follow about the breakfast, and we hope you will be able to register for the conference and attend this November.

Sincerely,

Debbie Lammers, Mentorship Program Committee
