More than A Place to Teach: Exploring the Perceptions of the Roles and Responsibilities of Mentor Teachers
Authors: Hall Kendra M., Draper Roni Jo, Smith Leigh K., Bullough Jr. Robert V.
The goal of this study was to shed light on mentor teachers' perceptions of their roles and responsibilities and to contrast their understandings with a normative view of mentoring (Goldsberry, 1998; Hawkey, 1997). The authors hypothesized that the mentor teachers' perceptions would likely differ from established conceptions of this construct. This difference has significant implications for mentor preparation and university collaboration.

Cognitive Complexity, The First Year of Teaching, and Mentoring
Authors: Bullough Jr. Robert V., Young Janet R., Hall Kendra M., Draper Roni Jo, Smith Leigh K.
The authors explore how differences in cognitive complexity were related to role expectations, conceptions of teaching problems, and the use of evidence for justifying beliefs. They draw on data from a US study of nine mentors and mentees, including mentee scores on the Reasoning about Current Issues (RCI) Test, which offers a measure of cognitive complexity.
