2015 Sense Publishers. All rights reserved. This chapter explores the specific experience of a mentor and mentee as they participated in the Open Classroom program, a program designed to encourage observations of department classrooms by faculty and graduate students. The mentoring relationship is described and viewed from the perspectives of both the mentor and mentee. Issues that developed during the semester of the mentorship are explored and important insight gained into ways to improve the effectiveness of the program for mentor, mentee and the pre-service teachers enrolled in a mathematics methods course. The chapter explores both the professional and personal dynamics of the relationship and makes recommendations for improvements in the program.
