The 34 scenarios that make up this book are based upon real-life teacher-trainee issues. They are designed to stimulate analysis of those issues, to help the formulation of possible approaches to deal with them, and to promote reflection on the role of the mentor as a practitioner, advisor, critical friend, and assessor.

These were extensively school-based, and included both secondary and primary Mentor-like behaviour may come from many sources within a...
First Published in 1999. Every school employing newly qualified teachers (NQTs) from 1999 onwards is required to provide them with structured support and training. This book offers comprehensive guidance to classroom teachers, heads of department and senior managers on effective induction and mentoring.

Based on good practice developed in schools and training courses, it will serve the practical and immediate needs of mentors and induction managers, while also helping them to reflect on the wider, underlying issues involved in getting teaching careers off to a good start. Appropriate reference is made to the Teaching and Induction Standards, Career Entry Profiles and the DFEE's new arrangements for induction.
