The Story Of State-Mandated Mentoring In New York taken in the City of new york where the United Federation of Teachers and the a statefunded pilot mentoring program for provisionally certified teachers. http://www.teachermentors.com/MCenter Site/StateStories/NewYork.html
Extractions: New York - Return to the "What's Happening in the States?" Page - Updated on March 14, 1998 New York In A article describes the approach taken in the City of New York where the United Federation of Teachers and the City Board of Education cooperatively sponsored a state-funded pilot mentoring program for provisionally certified teachers. See Guerrero, F. and Goldberg, P. (1988). "Mentor Teacher Internship Program, 1986-87. OEA Evaluation Report". Eric document ED300380. State-wide data collected in on the first three years of the program, showed an increase in attraction and retention of teachers. A number of other benefits for new teachers and their mentors were established from the data, such as that intern made more progress in asuming professional responsibilities as teachers than did othe beginning teachers who were not interns. A article confirmed the state's pilot mentoring programs approach was to separate mentoring from formal assessment of the intern for purposes of state teacher licensure. The article states that mentors provide support and guidance, but do not assume a supervisory role with the new teachers. Mentors were described as serving in a collegial relationship that was "privileged and confidential". See Fontana,J. (1990). "Rite of Passage: The Mentor Teacher/Internship Program". The Delta Kappa Gamma Bulletin, 57, 31-38. Interesting enough is the fact that there were two New York school districts which took a more evaluative approach and assigned the primary role of the mentor to be that of a "Peer Reviewer". The best known of these is the mentoring system in the Rochester NY schools, in which teachers serving as mentors observe new teachers for the expressed purpose of recommending whether the new teachers should be retained in their job.
