Overview
Mentoring Teachers provides practical guidance for teacher mentors, directly addressing common queries and concerns they may have while acting as a mentor within a diverse range of educational contexts. Drawing upon the author’s 30 years of conducting research on mentoring and working with both experienced and new mentors, this essential book provides a detailed picture of the mentoring role.
Dividing the mentor role into five key aspects (Support, Acculturator, Model, Sponsor and Educator), this important resource provides step-by-step descriptions of managing mentorials in ways which:
- support the mentor in scaffolding a mentee’s thinking so that they can make their own informed judgements and decisions about teaching
- develop the mentee’s noticing skills for responsive, adaptive teaching
- guide the mentee towards recognising the relevance of others’ ideas or ‘theories’ to their own practice and experience
- leave the mentee with practical ideas and plans for teaching and developing their teaching skills and
- scaffold the mentee’s learning of Systematic Informed Reflective Practice (SIRP) to support their ongoing learning and development by themselves
Mentoring can, if effective, contribute to mentees’ learning, wellbeing and retention in the profession. Mentoring Teachers describes effective mentoring practice and is a crucial read for any mentor, aspiring mentor or mentor programme co-ordinator.
