The Effects of Teacher Mentoring at the High School Level: A Research Study

By Dr. Patricia Edwards Ellsworth

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the effects that teacher mentoring had on high school students' behavior within a midwestern high school setting. During parent-teacher conferences, on average, 12% of parents attended. Approximately 2% of parents attended the monthly School Advisory Committee meeting and extracurricular activities. Students of this dissertation setting exhibited negative behaviors, which interfered with learning. In addition, 20% of the student population was referred to the administrative team for minor infractions occurring within classrooms. Adults and parents tended not to be involved in disciplinary efforts, and, therefore, students lacked reinforcement that may have enhanced their behavioral standing.
