The Mentor Program offers
benefits to many "pieces" of
of the child care system.
A formal evaluation of the Mentor Program titled The Potential of Mentoring
was completed in 1995 by the
Center for the Child Care Workforce.
Results confirmed that our Mentors work in high quality programs and provide excellent
supervision for community college, university and high school student teachers.
Moreover, the additional recognition and compensation we provide for Mentors
give them the encouragement they need to continue in a career that suffers from
high turnover and other chronic problems resulting from poor compensation and
limited career opportunities. Typical experiences described in
A Mentor's Story
offer hope for child care providers. However, we believe our positive impact
reaches far beyond the Mentors, Directors, and student teachers involved.
