【 摘 要 】

Teachers new to a school district are not always equipped with the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs necessary for expected teacher proficiency and, therefore, need support. The purpose of this concurrent mixed methods convergent design study was twofold: (1) to identify how teacher perceptions about their teaching and self-efficacy changed after content-focused e-mentoring using a teacher development framework and video self-reflection and (2) to investigate whether e-mentoring and video self-reflection supported goal setting, collaboration, and self-reflection. Nine teachers from grades 3-12, with 3-10 years of experience who were new to a high-performing district, met with mentors for an introductory session, four face-to-face sessions, engaged in content-focused asynchronous e-mentoring sessions, and completed video self-reflection. Additional data sources included the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale and open-ended survey questions. The findings suggest that goal setting, collaboration, and self-reflection occurred and support increases in mentee teacher self-efficacy and professional growth. Furthermore, the findings support the use of a teacher development framework, the Framework for Teaching (Danielson et al., 2009; Danielson, 2011) to guide goal setting in e-mentoring.Most importantly, mentee teachers reflected on the critical incidents from watching a video of their teaching, and were able to identify goals for the future.
