THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC THE SPREAD OF MENTORING Since the early l980s, when mentoring burst onto the educational scene as part of a broad movement aimed at improving education, policymakers and educational leaders have pinned high hopes on mentoring as a vehicle for reforming teaching and teacher education. Concerned about the rate of attrition during the first 3 years of teaching and aware of the problems faced by beginning teachers, policymakers saw the logic of providing on-site support and assistance to novices during their first year of teaching (Little, l990). The scale of mentoring has increased rapidly, with over 30 states mandating some form of mentored support for beginning teachers. The mentoring idea has also been extended to the preservice level. Proposals for the redesign of teacher preparation (e.g., Holmes Group, l990) call for teacher candidates to work closely with experienced teachers in internship sites and restructured school settings such as professional development schools. The hope is that experienced teachers will serve as mentors and models, helping novices learn new pedagogies and socializing them to new professional norms. This vision of mentoring depends on school-university partnerships that support professional development for both mentors and teacher candidates.
Extractions: RESPONSIBILITIES OF UNIVERSITY SUPERVISOR Observe each Student Teacher on a regular basis following the UTeach Program Guidelines and, at the request of the Student Teacher or Supervising Teacher. Focus the observation on specific issues; like inquiry questioning strategies, cooperative group facilitation skills, setting positive expectations for all students, etc. Then provide the Student Teacher, Supervising Teacher, and UTeach Office with a written account of the observation as soon after the observation as possible. Conduct an individual feedback session for each observation made and provide the Student Teacher, Supervising Teacher and UT Office with a written summary of the results. Help any individual Student Teacher with any problems, which may arise in the student teaching assignment. Use the UTeach Supervisor of Student Teachers (471-9889) as a resource and initiate contact if problems warrant. Provide some guidance to both the Student Teacher and Supervising Teacher with respect to the pacing of experiences.
