Abstract
This paper describes the background, rationale, origin and
components of an ongoing qualitative research project on mentorship at the
primary level of French immersion in the Red Deer Catholic District.
The history and rationale are described in the opening chapter
followed by a review of the literature, developing the philosophical basis of
the project. The next chapter delves into the philosophy of French
immersion teaching in particular. Both researchers have been involved in
program development of French immersion at the provincial level which
has contributed to the concepts elaborated throughout the project. Ongoing
pedagogical research reveals new and more effective ways of educational
practice resulting in frequent paradigm shifts. This, along with the
foundations of French immersion philosophy, has led to the continuing
evolution, elaboration and adaptation of this project.
A depiction of the mentorship project itself is delineated followed by
a detailed description of the evaluation procedures used to ensure the
program's success and viability. Supporting documents and illustrations
are included in the appendices.
