| Abstract | As this monograph shows, information exists regarding mentoring's value in private business and benefits experienced by mentored school administrators. However, the literature contains few descriptions regarding benefits realized by individuals serving as mentors in programs designed to prepare educational leaders. A recent study involved the use of in-depth interviews with a group of seven practicing administrators who worked directly with aspiring administrators serving as candidates in the Danforth Foundation Program for the Preparation of School Administrators. Interviews focused on the extent that mentors' expectations were realized during the first year of program participation. Each mentor selected for intensive interviewing had been recognized by at least 5 out of 17 candidates as an administrator consulted on at least 3 occasions during the school year. Five distinct themes emerged: (1) administrative mentors derived considerable satisfaction as program participants; (2) mentors expressed positive feelings about being teachers again; (3) mentors were exposed to ideas from other school systems; (4) mentors were exposed to recent research on effective school practices; and (5) mentors viewed their role as an affirmation of their value to their local school systems. In sum, mentorship was found to be a mutually enhancing process. More research is needed on the formation of mentoring relationships and their maintenance over time. (Nine references) (MLH) |
