How Teachers Compare the Roles of Cooperating Teacher and Mentor.
Ganser, Tom
Educational Forum, v66 n4 p380-85 Sum 2002
A survey of 94 teachers who served as cooperating teachers or mentored beginning teachers indicated that, despite few extrinsic rewards, they were motivated to undertake these roles; many had no formal preparation for them. Without clear expectations and high-quality training, their ability to enhance student and beginning teachers' practice may be limited. (Contains 13 references.) (SK)
