Experienced Teachers: Agents for Revitalization and Renewal as Mentors and Teacher Educators

Abstract

After reviewing much recent research and theory, the article outlines the current status of developmental stage concepts as a basis for the teacher as an adult learner. There is substantial evidence to support the view that adults who process experience at higher and more complex levels of development perform more adequately in complex human helping roles. Using a developmental model, a system is then outlined for training both mentor teachers and educators of mentor teachers. Such new roles have substantial potential for revitalizing experienced teachers, promoting their developmental growth, and improving the quality of supervision for beginning teachers.
