Abstract

Sustaining a committed teacher workforce for under-resourced schools has been a longstanding challenge in the United States. This joint methodology case/ethnographic study explores the impact of tiered mentorship in preparing 24 teacher candidates to work in under-resourced schools. Data consisted of transcripts from 65 individual interviews and 26 monthly meetings. Following thematic analysis, findings revealed that tiered mentorship fosters knowledge sharing, encourages reflection, and provides multi-level support, which enhances skill development for teaching in under-resourced schools. Results of this study suggest that tiered mentorship is a valuable approach for teacher education programs aiming to prepare teacher candidates for under-resourced schools.
