Rendering many different resources to be available for all kinds of teachers is useful in a mentor. When a mentor teacher is not around, many have to depend on themselves, as my mom often did, to come up with ideas for teaching. Many often trust their gut and work on instinct, and this is an important skill when having to rely on yourself for the outcome of your job. These days, there are other mediums in which to look for ideas, inspiration, and help. Places like these are no replacement for old-fashioned and much underused common sense and trial-and-error, but in the age of internet, are reliable tools. The teaching channel uses videos, Q and A, among other methods to help new and old teachers, including this video about new teachers dealing with classroom disruptions and how to manage. There is also a blog, because it is important to hear the voices of other teachers doing many of the same things as yourself!
