Describes six different types of mentoring programs for beginning teachers in Wisconsin. Four (in the Beloit, Kenosha, Platteville, and West Allis-West Milwaukee districts) are district programs in which teachers assume both mentoring and teaching responsibilities. Milwaukee's program is atypical, since teachers serve as full-time mentors. The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater program is the nation's longest continuously operating university-based mentoring program for beginning teachers. (12 references) (MLH)
