Evaluation of the New Mentor Teacher Project
The British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF), UBC, and British Columbia School Superintendents Association (BCSSA) have developed a mentoring program to help support new teachers within BC school districts. Some of the goals of the program include:
- providing a mentorship program that recognizes and responds to the differences among rural, urban, and suburban districts.
- developing the skills of mentors to support maximum learning in the mentor/mentee relationship.
- generating data that will inform directions for the development and implementation of a province-wide teacher mentoring program.
The objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the New Teacher Mentorship Project goals from the participant’s perspectives. (Funded by the BC Ministry of Education).
