Abstract:

In an effort to improve administrator mentoring programs, this study explored emerging gender issues between mentors and protégés enrolled in a university principal preparation program. Sixty-nine students (31 male and 38 female) were surveyed regarding gender considerations in selecting a preferred mentor, as well as the effect of gender on protégé discussions with mentors regarding school issues. Findings indicated that generally females preferred female mentors and males preferred male mentors. Other findings suggested that gender has an effect on educational issues that protégés discuss with their mentors.
