We Train Teachers: Why Not Supervisors and Mentors?
Jordan, Patricia; Phillips, Michael; Brown, Evans
Physical Educator, v61 n4 p219-221 Win 2004
Tennessee Tech offers a graduate level analysis and supervision of teaching course that includes a practicum experience for prospective and practicing teacher supervisors and mentors. This practicum coincides with an undergraduate pedagogy practicum in order to provide opportunities for students to enhance supervisory and mentoring skills. The graduate students observe an undergraduate's entire practicum experience then prepare a documented evaluation dossier that is shared with the undergraduate during a post-course interview. In order to gain experience as an external evaluator, they also evaluate elementary and secondary student teachers. The graduate students gain practical evaluation and supervisory experience while the undergraduates benefit from another pair of "evaluative eyes"; therefore, teaching, supervisory, and mentoring skills are simultaneously enhanced in an authentic setting.
