Mentoring Teachers provides practical guidance for teacher mentors, directly addressing common queries and concerns that they may have while acting as a mentor within a diverse range of educational contexts. Drawing upon the author's 30 years of researching 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, well-being 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.

Mentor Courses presents a range of activities and processes for exploring the roles and duties of mentors and for practising the skills required to support the development of learner teachers.
