35.063 - Mentoring Practices: What Works, for Whom, and Where

Sat, April 6, 4:10 to 5:40pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 800 Level, Room 803A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium of international scholars from Canada, Hong Kong, Israel, Spain and the USA brings together research examining innovative mentoring practices that have worked well to support the learning of prospective, novice and in-service teachers at different levels and across multiple contexts: mentoring for prospective teachers learning in the practicum; mentoring for in-service novice teachers in the profession; mentoring for veteran teachers who are learning to mentor; and prospective teachers and in-service teachers learning to be mentors themselves. Conceptual and contextual differences of how these practices unfold in different sociocultural settings will be discussed to extend current discussions on how mentoring practices might assist teachers (or not) to deal with the ongoing challenges and complexities of teaching in new times.
