The Influence of Teacher Education on Mentor Teachers' Role Perception in Professional Development Schools
Klieger, Aviva; Oster-Levinz, Anat
Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, v41 n2 p115-127 2015
Apprenticeship and professional development schools (PDSs) are two models for teacher education. The mentors that are the focus for this research completed their initial teacher training through one of these models and now mentor in PDSs. The paper reports on how the way in which they were trained as student teachers influenced their role perceptions. The findings suggest that mentor teachers who were trained via the PDSs model have a broader conceptual understanding of their role perception.
