Coaching and mentoring are increasingly recognised as being
important in order to enhance professional development, embed
changed practice and encourage the transmission of teacher learning
to pupil learning within classrooms. It also strengthens the
culture and ethos of the school by promoting an atmosphere of
mutual trust and respect. The book draws extensively on literature
and research findings, to provide an extremely comprehensive and
practical resource that will be of benefit for those interested in
introducing coaching and mentoring or those who want to reflect on
progress already made and plan for further development. The content
includes: definitions of coaching and mentoring: similarities and
differences; the benefits of coaching and mentoring and, barriers
to implementation and how to overcome them; different coaching
models with tips on best practice and skills needed for delivery
and to evaluate their impact. There are case studies and activities
such as audits and questionnaires on topics including 'finding the
time', the benefits of coaching and mentoring and overcoming the
threat of supervision, which help to reinforce theory and emphasise
the practical application in all school settings. The book also
highlights that introducing and developing coaching and mentoring
can be difficult. However, the message is clear that the benefits
far outweigh the difficulties. The book is supported by a CD-ROM
which includes a staff development PowerPoint and all the copiable
practical resources.
