Contexts of Mentoring and Opportunities for Learning To Teach: A Comparative Study of Mentoring Practice.
Wang, Jian
Teaching and Teacher Education, v17 n1 p51-73 Jan 2001
Uses data from American, British, and Chinese mentor teachers to explore the relationship between mentoring contexts and mentoring practice. Three instructional contexts shaped differences across programs and countries: structure of school curriculum and assessment, organization of teaching and mentoring, and student population. Mentors' reform-minded teaching practices did not necessarily guarantee effective mentoring to support teacher learning and teaching reform. (SM)
