| Abstract | This paper reports the results of a mailed survey of beginning and mentor teachers who participated in the Wisconsin-Whitewater Beginning Teacher Assistance Program (BTAP) between 1988 and 1999, a university-based mentoring program for K-12 teachers. The program features graduate credit for required mentor training and beginning teacher participation; monthly meetings of participants; required conferences and classroom observations; visits to school sites by university personnel; and support for professional development activities or acquisition of professional materials. The survey asked about program features and the impact of program participation on respondents' professional development. Results indicate that the BTAP is relatively successful in serving the needs of beginning teachers and their mentors. Several aspects of the program were viewed favorably by some and negatively by others. Both groups appreciated being able to earn graduate credit as part of program participation, and they believed participation in BTAP was more valuable than participation in many other professional development activities. Teachers valued the opportunity to interact with each other in a professional context. One of the most universal challenges faced by mentors and their proteges was limited time for mentoring. (SM) |
