Description
Drawing on a wide range of experiences, Lizana Oberholzer and Derek Boyle clearly define the terms 'coaching' and 'mentoring' before looking at how coaching and mentoring are used in schools to develop teachers. They offer theoretical frameworks, key strategies and principles at each stage to support phase specific development, and explore how these strategies can be used to help teachers to continue to develop to become confident classroom practitioners, as well as future leaders. Lizana and Derek also consider the key challenges and issues mentors and coaches might face. Each chapter explores how coaches and mentors can offer support and provide a safe supportive environment to allow teachers to continue to grow and develop, whatever phase they are in on their learning journey.
Provides guidance on how to develop teachers at different stages in their development to provide mentors with a detailed toolkit to effectively support future teachers all the way to leadership.
