Background: Beginning Teachers are confronted with
numerous challenges especially in their first year of
teaching. Without ample induction support, the beginning
teachers could merely develop their capacity on their
own. Therefore, some nations implement the policy of
internship so as to increase effectiveness of the
beginning teachers. In Hong Kong, the Advisory Committee
on Teacher Education and Qualifications (ACTEQ)
introduced the proposal of internship and registration
for beginning teachers in 2003; however, the proposal is
still not carried out. Focus of discussion: This paper
attempts to examine the proposal in an international
perspective. In order to understand the direction and
design of the proposal in Hong Kong, it is going to
identify the proposal through text analysis. In addition,
the controversies of the issue will be presented and
defended. Arguments: The paper mainly explores the
controversies of the internship from four sections, they
include, nature of mentoring relationship, workload of
mentoring, evaluation of mentoring and prospect of
teaching profession. In order to deal with the challenges
of induction year, whole-school approach to mentoring is
suggested. It is argued that the internship of beginning
teachers should be introduced as a way of improving
teacher development of Hong Kong at both individual and
school levels. Conclusion: By exploring related research,
implementation of internship through mentoring for
beginning teachers is beneficial to develop teacher
effectiveness and school effectiveness. Nevertheless, the
proposal should be improved before it is carried out in
near future. (Contains 7 figures.)
