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.
