The TCSEFP Hybrid eMentoring Model: A Distance Education Mentoring Model
Bock, Marjorie; Caballero, Mari; O'Neal-Hixson, Kelly
Educational Renaissance, v9 p23-30 2020
This article describes a hybrid eMentoring model used to support fellows during an 11-month fellowship program, the Teachers College Special Education Fellowship Program (TCSEFP). The TCSEFP is a residency in teaching (RIT) induction program that leads to the completion of a high incidence special education endorsement and a master's degree in special education. During the fellowship, each participant receives extensive, explicit mentoring from onsite and off-site mentors. This hybrid eMentoring model, developed as a part of the TCSEFP, is facilitated in part via distance technologies. This article extends the residency in teaching professional literature to special education teacher preparation programs delivered via distance education. The TCSEFP hybrid eMentoring model extends residency in teaching university-school partnerships to K-12 schools in remote rural regions.
