Rachel Alexander of Edinburgh University shares her thoughts about the benefits of mentoring student teachers
In this episode, which should also be useful for new teachers who are working with a mentor for the first time, we explore:
1. What do you enjoy about mentoring new teachers?
2. What do you feel are the qualities of a really good mentor?
3. For anyone who might be listening who is new to mentoring, what advice might you give them?
4. What are some common mistakes that mentors make?
We also explore some case studies:
How to support a new teacher who is struggling with their mental-health
How to support a new teacher who is disorganized
How to support a new teacher who is overwhelmed with feedback.
The full student teacher site for mentors and regents is still under development. Below are some aspects that are available now and we are keen to hear what else you think should be on the full site when it is launched. Please share your ideas here
