The report cites survey data from NCTR network mentors in 2014-15, in which the large majority "reported that mentoring residents made them a more effective teacher". A study of eight urban residency mentors also found mentors saw their role as part of urban reform and viewed a year-long placement as necessary for developing student-centered practice.
