Based on semi-structured interview and documentary research, this qualitative study included 4 mentoring teachers and 2 beginning teachers in four Taipei junior high schools as the participants, to explore their experiences of operating the MBT Program. The followings are the results of the study.
一、The results indicated that mentoring teachers have shared some common characteristics in terms of their faith in education and personalities. They displayed strong willingness and great passion to share and had high sense of responsibilities and keen observation as well. They played crucial roles to motivate the MBT Program and achieved the goal of the servant leadership, ‘to serve first.’
二、In terms of teachers’ interaction in the MBT Program, the results showed that the mentoring teachers have positively influenced on the beginning teachers. Their interaction underwent different steps—they had conflict first and then trusted each other and consequently made progresses through learning and counseling. The experiences of mentoring teachers also benefited the beginning teachers regarding their professional growth and ability of class managements.
三、The operation of the MBT Program in Taipei junior high schools fulfills the spirit of the servant leadership. The MBT Program has played a good part to bridge the communication between mentoring and beginning teachers, implement professional demonstrations, and serve a good function of counseling. To sum up, the mentoring teacher serves as a servant at school and is a real ‘servant-leader.’
四、There are still some limitations in this study and some significant results could be explored further in the future study.
