Mentoring Beginning Teachers: Lessons from the Experience in Texas. By Sue E. Mutchler The practice of mentoring beginning teachers emerged in the 1980s as a professional development strategy for achieving a variety of goals. One goal focuses solely on teachers who are just entering the profession, while two others extend the benefits of mentoring to other educators in the school and district community. Mentorship promises potential benefits in at least the following three areas (Little, 1990): New teacher induction - to help transition beginning teachers into the classroom and acculturate them to the specific school and district setting in which they will work. As local and state-initiated teacher mentoring programs have been implemented and refined over time, the first two of these goals have proven to be interrelated. A positive effect of teacher mentoring on the third goal, building capacity for local professional development and program innovation, is even less readily apparent in school practice.
