Mentorships: Transferable Transactions among Teachers.

Bey, Theresa M.

Education and Urban Society, v28 n1 p11-19 Nov 1995

As dispensers of information, mentors can support teachers through career stages from recruitment to retirement. This article explores mentorships as transferable transactions. This concept is particularly valuable in urban areas, where teachers unacquainted with physical and cultural conditions may replicate the practices of seasoned mentors. (SLD)
