Supporting new teachers is a common challenge globally and the
European Commission has recently emphasised the need to promote a
lifelong continuum of teachers' professional development by
building bridges between pre-service and in-service teacher
education.
Peer-Group Mentoring for Teacher Development introduces and
contextualises for an international audience, a new model for
teachers' professional development; Peer Group Mentoring, (PGM). It
is based on the constructivist view of learning, the idea of shared
expertise, and the 'Model of Integrative Pedagogy' which emphasises
the integration of different forms of expert knowledge in
professional development.
This book explores the theoretical and practical background for
developing the peer-group mentoring model, and provides important
contextual information about the Finnish school system in which it
was conceptualised, and also about teacher education. It presents
several empirical studies on applying the PGM model with primary
and secondary school teachers in different school contexts, and
outlines future challenges; examining peer-group mentoring in the
framework of wider practice architectures of teacher education.
The book is an indispensable reference tool for educationalists
and education researchers interested in collaborative and dialogic
learning, teacher professional development and school
administration.
