More than a Road Map: A “GPS” System for Training Mentors for a Co-Teaching Internship Salisbury University NAPDS April, 2008
How it all started… • Maryland State Dept. of Educ. – Redesign of Teacher Education 1995 • NCLB 2002 – high stakes testing & hosting interns • SU Solution - collaborative PDS internships & co-teaching Mentor Mentor Intern Intern
Final Product • Mentor Training Handbook (train the trainer) • Step by step PowerPoint with key concepts • DVD highlighting co-teaching strategies • Narrative • Reproducible documents • Mentor brochures
How did we do? • Mentor Training Satisfaction Questionnaire • 7 items scored on a scale from 1 to 4 • Total score ranges from 7 to 28 • Treatment received = mentor training • Satisfaction Score = 25.15 n=227 • Standard Deviation = 0.65
Where do we go from here? • How do we continue to train mentors without funding? • Looking for other funding sources • Online training modules • Ask for county “in-service” time • When and where do we introduce the concept of co-teaching to our candidates? • Your thoughts?
