Teachers Mentors of Children: Teachers and Children Share Much of Their Day Together, and so Certainly Have an Important Influence on Each Other. But Are Teachers Mentors of Children? Do Teachers Perceive Themselves as Mentors
Trepanier-Street, Mary
Childhood Education, v81 n2 p66 Win 2004
This discussion of classroom teachers serving as mentors of children draws from the literature on the origin of mentoring, the definition of mentoring, and the current theory on the characteristics and qualities that define an excellent mentor-mentee relationship. Parallels between the study of adult mentoring relationships and the teacher-child relationship is described, as will the benefits of a mentoring relationship for both the children and the teacher.
