| Overview: |
Teacher Mentoring and Links to Recent Research Highlights website provides
educators with online access to research projects and publications that address
mentoring in teacher professional development.
Quote from submission page: "Many professions, law and medicine among the
best-known, place student apprentices in real-world, clinical situations
early
in their training. Traditionally, many beginning teachers have entered the
classroom with only minimal opportunity to interact with students and learn
from
master teachers. In its 1996 report, "What Matters Most: Teaching for
America's
Future," the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future
recommended
restructuring the first years of teaching to resemble a medical residency,
where
new teachers could be mentored by experienced practitioners. This resource
includes articles, research, video clips, and resources about mentoring."
