Download or read book Effects of Mentoring on Student Teacher s Perceived Learning Outcomes written by Femke Gerretzen and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentoring conversations are a common aspect of teacher education. This book assesses to what extent the mentor's approach and the student teacher's relationship with his mentor influence the perception of learning in these conversations. The focus is on the student teacher's perceived learning outcomes by measuring his perceived knowledge productivity. In a comparative case-based design 12 couples of student teachers and their mentors are compared. The results show that the mentor's approach in the mentoring conversation does not significantly influence the student teacher's perceived knowledge productivity and that student teachers who have a positive relationship with their mentor have higher perceived knowledge productivity. The findings of this book indicate that the relationship between student teacher and mentor influences the student teacher's perceived learning outcomes. The book is of interest to teacher educators and educational researchers.

Download or read book The Perceived Effects of Teacher Mentoring on Mentors and Mentees written by Leonard J. Jurkowski (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study examined the effects of a 2009-2010 mentor training program implemented at the Harvest Valley School District (fictitious name), located in suburban Virginia serving approximately 13,000 students in grades pre K-12 and employs 2,048 full-time personnel. The study explored the perceived effects of the mentor training program on mentor and mentee teachers, with regards to the goals of the mentor training. Mentors and mentees were interviewed to allow them the opportunity to share their lived experiences during the 2009-2010 school year. The discussions held were an attempt to draw out the effects of the mentor training and to discover the most salient characteristic on mentoring for the mentors and mentees through the stories that each shared. Data were collected regarding the participants experiences centering on the goals of the mentor training program to evaluate the programs effectiveness. Data revealed both similarities and differences in mentor and mentee experiences with respect to the goals of the program. Three major themes centering on the following were discovered: role clarification, reflective practice, and adult learning. As a result of the findings, several recommendations were offered to improve the mentor training program. Ultimately, the recommendations could be incorporated into mentor training programs across the county.
Download or read book Student Teacher Perceptions of the Impact of Mentoring on Student Teaching written by Lori K. Bird and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentoring is an essential component of the student teaching experience. The support provided by highly prepared and effective mentors contributes to the success of student teachers during this high stakes period of professional development. Findings from this mixed-methods study support five mentoring factors as valid and a useful framework for measuring the impact of the mentoring received by student teachers in the student teaching experience. The five factors are: personal attributes, system requirements, pedagogical knowledge, modeling, and feedback (Hudson, 2007). The Mentee Perceptions of Student Teaching survey was given to student teachers upon the conclusion of their student teaching experience at Minnesota State University, Mankato. Convergence of quantitative and qualitative data showed that mentoring practices implemented by the mentors supported the development of student teachers. Although no statistically significant differences were found between mentoring in the co-teaching and non-co-teaching sub-groups, results revealed important details of the student teachers' views. Themes emerged that add credence to the five mentoring factors that are well supported in current literature. In addition to verifying what has been done during student teaching, the five factors also serve to identify the specific responsibilities of mentor teachers and should be used to articulate the goals and outcomes for their role as a mentor.
Download or read book The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentorship is a catalyst capable of unleashing one's potential for discovery, curiosity, and participation in STEMM and subsequently improving the training environment in which that STEMM potential is fostered. Mentoring relationships provide developmental spaces in which students' STEMM skills are honed and pathways into STEMM fields can be discovered. Because mentorship can be so influential in shaping the future STEMM workforce, its occurrence should not be left to chance or idiosyncratic implementation. There is a gap between what we know about effective mentoring and how it is practiced in higher education. The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM studies mentoring programs and practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It explores the importance of mentorship, the science of mentoring relationships, mentorship of underrepresented students in STEMM, mentorship structures and behaviors, and institutional cultures that support mentorship. This report and its complementary interactive guide present insights on effective programs and practices that can be adopted and adapted by institutions, departments, and individual faculty members.

Download or read book The Impact of Mentor Training on the Perceived Effectiveness of a Mentor Program written by James Vincent Freemyer and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The state of North Carolina has mandated that every new teacher in the state be appointed a mentor during the first year of teaching. Research has indicated that having a mentor does not necessarily improve instruction or retain quality people in the profession unless the training and the structure of the mentor programs are properly focused upon the real needs of new teachers. Programs that adequately address these beginning teacher needs have a positive impact on instruction and the retention of good teachers. This study examines the perceptions of first-year teachers regarding their primary needs and how effective their mentors were in providing for these needs. Two North Carolina school districts were selected for study based upon adherence to state guidelines regarding the quantity and quality of the training in an effort to measure the perceived impact of mentoring programs on first-year teaching experiences. The results of the study indicated that the districts that provide a more structured approach to mentor training with a focus on the developmental needs of the new teacher, observation, and reflective thought had a statistically significant greater positive impact on new teachers. The impact was examined in the areas of establishing structure of the program, addressing personal needs, improving teacher skills, identifying student needs, and promoting professional growth.

Book excerpt: No doubt, students appreciate the talks they have with their mentors but do they learn from it as well? Conversations can be comforting or confronting, but above all they need to be helpful in the attainment of a higher level of proficiency and understanding. Are you, as a mentor, up to the task of “climbing the mountain”; that is, to attain the goals you have set with your students and create a truly learning conversation? Conversations are a prime tool in a mentoring relationship. Keeping track of the flow and direction of a conversation is a crucial element in mentor professionalism and a condition to ascertain learning will happen. Mentoring for Learning: “Climbing the Mountain” concentrates on the need to get grip on what happens during a conversation between a mentor and a mentee to enable both mentor and mentee to understand the nature and route of their talks. The book provides tools for the professional development of mentors to conduct learning conversations.
Download or read book Best Practices in Mentoring for Teacher and Leader Development written by Linda J. Searby and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentoring in educational contexts has become a rapidly growing field of study, both in the United States and internationally (Fletcher & Mullen, 2012). The prevalence of mentoring has resulted in the mindset that “everyone thinks they know what mentoring is, and there is an intuitive belief that mentoring works” (Eby, Rhodes, & Allen, 2010, p. 7). How do we know that mentoring works? In this age of accountability, the time is ripe for substantiating evidence through empirical research, what mentoring processes, forms, and strategies lead to more effective teachers and administrators within P?12 contexts. This book is the sixth in the Mentoring Perspectives Series, edited by Dr. Frances Kochan former Dean of the College of Education at Auburn University. This latest book in the series, co?edited by Linda J. Searby and Susan K. Brondyk, brings together reports of recent research on mentoring in K?12 settings for new teachers and new principals. The book has already garnered accolades from mentoring experts: "You will want to add this high?quality volume on mentoring to your library! What a terrific resource for teachers, leaders, administrators, and mentoring scholars alike. Having first?hand knowledge of mentoring practices and programs for P?12 teachers and administrators can help with the national need to retain teachers and principals through such means as excellent, proven methods, programs, and processes of mentoring" ~ Carol A. Mullen, Educational Leadership Professor, Virginia Tech, U.S. Fulbright Scholar; Kappa Delta Pi Presidential Commissioner "This volume, Best Practices in Mentoring for Teacher and Leader Development, forwards principles of effective mentoring, including the role and importance of talk in mentoring, using tools that make mentoring talk more purposeful, analyzing practice, involving mentors in opportunities to share their practice, providing space for mentees to have a voice in mentoring conversations, and promoting learning at all levels as part of instructional leadership in schools. Much research is still needed to build a sense of urgency that mentoring can matter, and ideas promoted within this book can contribute to this important conversation." ~ Randi Nevins Stanulis, Professor, Department of Teacher Education, Michigan State University, and Director of Launch into Teaching. "This book is a huge first step in a field where best practices have not yet been agreed upon, and it is sure to be a leading voice in research on teacher and principal mentoring. As such, this book helps to bring together a variety of beliefs, evidence, and practices in teacher and principal mentoring, and gives a clear pathway for others trying to establish best practices in their mentoring fields. For those in the K?12 fields, and in all mentoring practices, this is a thought?provoking, must?read." ~ Nora Domínguez, International Mentoring Association, President and CEO
