- Summary:
-
The Beginning Teacher Assistance Program (BTAP) was piloted in the state of Washington during the 1985-86 school year. Each of 89 beginning teachers was assigned a mentor teacher to provide continuing and sustained support during the school year. A survey of beginning teachers, mentors, and school principals at the end of the school year yielded several results, including: (1) improved perception about ability by teachers with mentors; (2) belief by beginning teachers that mentors positively affected their development; and (3) belief by principals that mentors positively affected the growth of beginning teachers. Morale and personal support topics wre discussed most often by beginning teachers and their mentors. Recommendations based on the program evaluation for the state and district level, mentors, beginners, and pricipals include: (1) redefinition of the concept "beginning teacher"; (2) reorganization of local orientation and inservice programs; (3) more assistance from mentors in classroom discipline and teaching strategies; (4) more observation by beginners of classrooms taught by mentors; and (5) greater involvement of principals. Appendices include state legislation and information about school district selection. (CB)
