Mentor Selection. The effectiveness of a mentor’s role in a mentee’s professional development to a great extent depends on why and how they were assigned for mentorship (Xxxxxx-Xxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2014). Thus, it is important to understand motives that drive mentors to participate in mentoring programs as they may affect the way mentors provide assistance and build relationships with mentees (Xxxx & Xx Xxxxxx, 2015). Participation in mentoring programs is a rather time-consuming process (Xxxxxx-Xxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2014; Xxxx, & Xxxxxxxx, 2004) however; recent studies propose that the reasons some teachers are willing to participate are influenced by professional and personal interests. The findings of these studies suggest that the main reasons why mentors want to be involved in mentoring programs are an altruistic desire to support novice teachers and improve their own school, sharing professional experience, aid in their own professional development, potential career promotion and improving listening and communication skills (Xxxxx-Xxxxxx & Oplatka, 2009; Xxxx & Xx Xxxxxx, 2015). Essentially, mentors are more likely to be effective if it was their initial desire to be involved in th program, rather than if they were forced by senior management staff (Trubowitz, 2004). The value in voluntary participation extends to mentees as well as mentors; despite the availability of mentoring programs in Kazakhstan, they are considered optional and mentee or less experienced teachers may choose whether or not they wish to accept this support (World Bank, 2013). In Kazakhstani schools, mentors are assigned by the principal and selected from the best teachers of first or highest category (OECD, 2014). Mentors and mentees identify weak and strong sides of a novice teacher and create a development plan. Mentors’ responsibilities include providing support, classroom observations, providing feedback and evaluating his/her mentee’s progress (OECD, 2014). Generally, participation in induction and mentoring programs is realized on a free basis that may also influence the mentor’s wish to be involved in the program. Unfortunately, OECD (2014) describes merely the generally accepted process of assigning a mentor for inexperienced teachers in Kazakhstani schools but there is limited or no research about whether the mentor selection procedure takes into consideration the mentor’s desire to complete this work or what opportunities or challenges participation in such programs might create.
