Abstract
Professional development is an on going process. Willman et al (1986)
suggested that three essential conditions for professional growth are:
autonomy, collaboration, and time. In an attempt to promote professional
growth, numerous professional development programs have been initiated.
One program being considered is mentoring where a beginning teacher is
paired with an experienced teacher.
Research on mentoring programs stresses the importance of a well
designed mentor training program. In this study, I have compiled
numerous activities that can be used by mentors, interns and faculty
members who are interested in learning more about mentoring. The study
has been organized as a presenter's guide and includes six topics:
mentoring principles, conferencing techniques, interpersonal skills, needs
of beginning teachers, stages of adult development and evaluation. Each
section has been developed to include: an introductory activity to set the
context, background information, suggested activities and selected
references.
