School districts nationwide spend time, money, and human resources addressing the significant turnover rate and the recruitment of highly qualified teachers. This study provides valuable insight into how mentors view their relationship with their mentees, and how they see the mentoring program. The study demonstrates that even though new teacher mentors work with limited resources and are constrained by rigid policies, they provide a particular type of expertise to beginning teachers.  \nKeywords: novice teacher, teacher attrition, teacher retention, common mentoring practices, a culture of collaboration  \nLiterature Review  \nBackground  \nThe United States is facing a national teacher shortage that is projected to grow substantially in the coming years, as school systems are faced with the challenge of maintaining a high-quality teacher workforce for all students (Sutcher, Darling-Hammond & Carver-Thomas, 2016) . Beginning teachers are susceptible to end of the year release or leaving the teaching profession because they are more likely than their veteran colleagues to struggle with classroom management, lack of professional support, or they are assigned to low performing students (Anthony & Kritsonis, 2006; Campbell, 2017) . Kini and Podolsky (2016) stated that both teacher inexperience and rates of turnover negatively impact student learning, which means that students attending schools with high turnover and few experienced teachers are at an educational disadvantage. When teachers do not feel supported,“more than one-third of teachers leave the profession within the first five years”(Callahan, 2016, p. 6) .  \nThe number of first-year teachers who leave the classroom to pursue other careers has consistently risen each year (Jonson, 2002; Kelchtermans, 2017) . Carver-Thomas and DarlingHammond (2017) reported national teacher attrition rate of about 8% annually, and research shows that the number of teachers leaving each year accounts for close to 90% of annual teacher demand. Bartell (2005) suggested that an effective mentoring program could reduce high attrition rates among beginning teachers. Mentoring has been used for centuries as a means of handing down tradition and support (Moberg & Velasquez, 2004) . In education, mentoring is described as a relationship in which mentors provide new teachers with “structure and support during a new teacher’s transition to the demands of the classroom and school environment”(Gagen & Bowie, 2005, p. 42) . “Mentoring is a common strategy for transformative professional, professional, personal, and organizational development. By creating a supportive culture, mentoring can provide the environment for transformative learning to occur”(Campbell, 2017) .  \nIn the early days of mentoring, specialized training was not required because it was believed that an effective teacher would make an effective mentor (Cullingford, 2006) . However, the form of mentoring has progressively evolved and become more complex (Bartell, 2005; Hudson, 2012; Ingersoll, 2004) . The need for mentoring programs is well documented in the literature (Callahan, 2016: Grossman & Davis, 2012; Ingersoll, 2001; Solis, 2004) and, approximately 33 states mandate a form of mentoring support for new teachers (Feiman-Nemser, 2001). Will (2017) reported that in the United States 86% of new teachers supported by a mentor teacher in the first years of their career will remain in the classroom, while 71% of those without mentors leave the profession. A mentoring program is one of the most essential things a district could do to hold on to good teachers and groom them to be even better (Dillon, 2008; Izadinia, 2015) .
