摘要：AbstractThis study on the experiences in three correctional facilities in Belgium suggest that a specifically developed mentoring program for new teachers in prison education will contribute to the quality of their practice, not merely their retention in a special environment as a correctional facility. Moreover, the experiences of the last five years of the Taxandria cvo Turnhout shows that an ongoing, comprehensive mentoring program could go a long way toward achieving the broader potential of mentorship in prison education. This program builds the instructional leadership of experienced teachers who serve as mentors and engage all educators in ongoing professional development and program innovation--toward the ultimate improvement of the correctional programs.
