Onchwari, Grace; Keengwe, Jared
Early Childhood Education Journal, v36 n1 p19-24 Aug 2008
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the mentor-coach initiative model on participating Head Start Programs. The researchers interviewed 44 participants across two mid-western states. The participants provided positive feedback about the initiative and identified specific literacy practices based on this model that were successfully implemented in their classrooms. Evidence from this study suggests the importance of incorporating the mentor-coaching initiative model to enhance teacher pedagogical practices.
