Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v7i7.4284
Abstract
With the deepening of educational reforms, young teachers have become the core force in the teaching profession, yet their innovative teaching capabilities require enhancement. The mentorship system, as an effective talent development model, plays a vital role in improving young teachers' instructional innovation. This study explores the application of mentorship strategies in enhancing young teachers' teaching innovation. Through literature analysis and practical research, it is found that mentorship can guide young teachers to establish correct teaching concepts, master advanced teaching methods, and stimulate innovative thinking through mentors' verbal guidance and personal example. In implementation, emphasis should be placed on selecting mentors with rich teaching experience and research capabilities. Simultaneously, a comprehensive mentorship system should be established to clarify rights and obligations for both parties, ensuring orderly conduct of mentorship activities. Additionally, diverse mentorship formats such as mentor-apprentice pairing, specialized training, and observation learning should be adopted to provide young teachers with more learning opportunities and platforms. Ultimately, the implementation of mentorship strategies can effectively enhance young teachers' teaching innovation capabilities, injecting new vitality into the development of education.
