It's hard to bring up a subject when you're not sure that the beginning teacher is willing to discuss the issue, so dream a little...

What question(s) or help would you LIKE your beginning teacher to ask you?

Honestly, any question a mentee can ask is a great starting point to a conversation.  Mentees are in such a rush that when they are responding to questions they frequently just respond to what is asked (making a terminal post).

Questions that have to do with content presentation and assessment are the most straight forward to answer and also provide a rich basis for discussion.  It is easy to provide these resources if the mentee is in emergency mode, but they also open areas for mentees to ask how and why questions.
