| Abstract | The Danforth Foundation Program for the Preparation of School Principals now being implemented at four American universities embodies two major emphases: (1) collaboration between universities and school systems and (2) experiential learning approaches. One important program aspect is mentoring relationships between candidates and experienced local administrators. This paper describes the development and implementation of the mentoring component at Ohio State University (Columbus). After providing background and definitions, the paper describes informal, naturally developing mentoring formats found in private industry and in recent efforts to enhance women's leadership roles. More recently, the teacher education field has been contriving formal, mentoring arrangements. Six types of mentors are discussed, including traditional mentors, supportive bosses, organizational sponsors, professional career mentors, patrons, and invisible godparents. Realistically, the supportive boss and professional career mentors are the most useful for structured administrator preparation programs. The roles and responsibilities of Danforth Program mentors; identification, selection, and recruitment procedures; and training methods and activities are discussed. In closing, certain problems concerning mentor selection, matching mentors and candidates, and program manageability are addressed. Despite some decided limitations, there is great value in the mentoring approach for preparing administrators. Included are 14 references. (MLH) |
