Examining the Mentoring Experience of Teachers
Cook, John
International Journal of Educational Leadership Preparation, v7 n1 Spr 2012
This descriptive research study examines the perceptions of former graduate students from Governors State University's Educational Administration Program regarding the quality and quantity of their mentoring experience and their suggestions for mentoring implementation. The research questions are: (1) What is the percentage of teachers who receive mentoring during their first year?; (2) How is mentoring assigned to first year teachers?; and (3) What are the perceptions of teachers regarding their mentoring experience? Email solicitations were sent to 250 former students to request their participation. Participants were directed to the www.surveymonkey.com site where they were asked to respond anonymously to 8 quantitative questions and 2 qualitative questions. The sample for this research study consisted of 97 participants. (Contains 3 footnotes and 3 tables.)
