The purpose of this paper is to report on a qualitative case study that examined the potential benefits, challenges and implications of the mentor–coach (MC) role as a supportive structure for experienced teachers’ well-being and sense of flourishing in schools.,The qualitative case study used data collected from surveys, interviews, focus groups and documentation. Data were coded and abductively analyzed using the “framework approach” with and against Seligman’s well-being PERMA framework. In order to include an alternative stakeholder perspective, data from a focus group with the district’s teacher union executive are also included.,Using the constituting elements of Seligman’s well-being (PERMA) framework, experienced teachers reported positive emotion, engagement, positive relationships, meaning and accomplishment from their MC experience. However, the MC role is not a panacea for educator well-being. Rather, the quality and effectiveness of the mentoring and coaching relationship is a determining factor and, if left unattended, negative experiences could contribute to their stress and increased workload.,The data used in this study were based on a limited number of survey respondents (25/42) and the self-selection of the interview (n=7) and focus group participants (n=6). The research findings may lack generalizability and be positively skewed.,This study contributes to the current lack of empirical research on the MC experience and considers some of the wider contextual factors that impact effective mentoring and coaching programs for educators.

“我喜欢这个东西!”:加拿大关于导师-教练幸福感的案例研究

本文的目的是报告一个定性的案例研究,该案例研究了导师-教练(MC)角色作为经验丰富的教师的福祉和学校蓬勃发展的支持结构的潜在利益,挑战和影响,定性案例研究使用了从调查,访谈,焦点小组和文档收集的数据。使用“框架方法”对数据进行编码和归纳分析,并以塞里格曼的幸福PERMA框架为依据。为了包含其他利益相关者的观点,还包括了来自该地区的教师工会执行官的焦点小组的数据。使用塞利格曼福利(PERMA)框架的构成要素,经验丰富的教师报告了积极的情感,参与,积极的关系,他们MC经验的意义和成就。但是,MC角色并不是教育者幸福的灵丹妙药。相反,指导和教练关系的质量和有效性是决定因素,如果不加注意,负面经历可能会导致他们的压力和工作量增加。,本研究中使用的数据基于有限的调查受访者( 25/42)和访谈的自我选择(n = 7)和焦点小组参与者(n = 6)。研究结果可能缺乏概括性,并且存在偏斜。本研究加剧了当前缺乏MC经验的经验研究,并考虑了一些影响教育工作者有效的指导和教练计划的广泛背景因素。指导和教练关系的质量和有效性是决定性因素,如果不加注意,负面经历可能会导致他们的压力和工作量增加。,本研究中使用的数据基于有限的调查受访者(25 / 42)和访谈的自我选择(n = 7)和焦点小组参与者(n = 6)。研究结果可能缺乏概括性,并且存在偏斜。本研究加剧了当前缺乏MC经验的经验研究,并考虑了一些影响教育工作者有效的指导和教练计划的广泛背景因素。指导和教练关系的质量和有效性是决定因素,如果不加注意,负面经历可能会导致他们的压力和工作量增加。,本研究中使用的数据基于有限的调查受访者(25 / 42)和访谈的自我选择(n = 7)和焦点小组参与者(n = 6)。研究结果可能缺乏概括性,并且存在偏斜。本研究加剧了当前缺乏MC经验的经验研究,并考虑了一些影响教育工作者有效的指导和教练计划的广泛背景因素。本研究中使用的数据基于有限的调查受访者(25/42)和访谈的自我选择(n = 7)和焦点小组参与者(n = 6)。研究结果可能缺乏概括性,并且存在偏斜。本研究加剧了当前对MC经验的实证研究,并考虑了一些影响教育工作者有效指导和辅导计划的广泛背景因素。本研究中使用的数据基于有限的调查受访者(25/42)和访谈的自我选择(n = 7)和焦点小组参与者(n = 6)。研究结果可能缺乏概括性,并且存在偏斜。本研究加剧了当前对MC经验的实证研究,并考虑了一些影响教育工作者有效指导和辅导计划的广泛背景因素。
