淺談幼稚園顧問教師之實踐

要培訓新任教師，並提升他們的專業水平，極需要經驗的良師來協助他們在專業上的成長。Daloz (1983) 認為良師像旅途中隊伍的嚮導，能帶頜經驗淺的教師在專業發展的旅途中成長。「專業成長」並非祇是新進教師需培訓，而是每個職級皆需學習，這條路是無止境的。本文以一位幼稚園實習教師 (徒弟) 為對象，由筆者作為顧問教師的角色，嘗試在輔導過程中融入多學科的理論範疇和「診治式視導」的精髓，去幫助徒弟理解輔導教學的精神，讓徒弟明白專業的成長是需要師徒間共同承擔責任，在互信關係下互相協作的。在整個輔導過程中，顧問教師體驗到作為良師的價值，擴闊了專業的眼界和智慧。
Effective teacher mentors play an important part in raising the level of new teachers’ professional development. Daloz (1983) states that effective teachers are like tour guides leading a group of travelers. They can help inexperienced teachers in their professional development. Professional development does not merely apply to the training of more innovative teachers. Every professional, regardless of the level they have attained, needs to learn from this process where there is no final end-point. This paper will present a case of an ‘apprentice’ teacher, mentored by the author who attempts to apply a diagnostic approach to mentoring based on underpinnings arising from different aspects. The apprentice was able to understand that the mentor-mentee relationship is based on mutual sharing of responsibility and trust. During the process, the mentor realized the value of being an effective teacher and was able to widen the scope of and knowledge related to professional development.
