This research revealed several themes that have an impact on six novice teacher participants as: understanding school culture and how they navigate the nuances within, what it means to be an effective teacher, access to mentors or mentorship programming, effective mentorship qualities, and school policies on mentorship. The literature supports the theoretical concept of an improved rate of teacher retention when mentorship is offered, but the research data collected for this article revealed a gap between this theory and practice.Teacher attrition is receiving worldwide attention; while some attrition in all professions is expected, high rates cause concern for the teaching profession.
