The Need for Urban Teacher Mentors: Conceptions and Realities.
King, Sabrina Hope; Bey, Theresa M.
Education and Urban Society, v28 n1 p3-10 Nov 1995
To examine the role of mentoring in urban school settings, conceptions of "urban schools,""mentors," and "mentoring" are explored. The most critical component of successful mentoring is a shared philosophy of the ways students learn and the possibility of learning. Strengthening the ability of mentors to exchange information is essential. (SLD)
