Abstract

In recent years, the provision of quality and effective education as well as the modernization of the education system have been at the heart of educational policy. The support and guidance of new teachers is one of the main pillars for improving the educational process, since newcomers are the foundation of education, on which the current educational policies are based. The present study explores the perceptions of substitute kindergarten teachers with 0-5 years of service for the institution of Mentor and its usefulness. The sample consisted of 8 kindergarten teachers, while the data collection tool used was the semi-structured interview. The results of the research highlighted the need to activate the institution which remains inactive since 2010. Issues related to daily school life (relationships with colleagues, relationships with parents, infrastructure, administrative duties), classroom management and teaching, social and occupational integration seems to be of particular concern to new entrants during their first professional steps. Proper, effective and targeted support and guidance from experienced Mentors, who have characteristics such as extensive professional experience and relevant training on the role they are inclined to take on, but also personal characteristics such as empathy, sociability and communication skills are the guarantee for a successful mentoring relationship that will help new entrants to develop professionally and personally, with the ultimate goal of providing a high quality education that will be enjoyed by society as a whole.
