Mentoring and coaching support and resources for teachers and leaders in education

Welcome

Welcome to the Mentoring and Coaching in Education Website. We are delighted to work with you.

This website aims to outline how mentoring and coaching, can be used to support teachers from their initial training and throughout their future career development, to allow them to grow and flourish as teachers, fellow mentors and school leaders. We argue that mentoring and coaching need to be considered a key part of the teacher and school leader’s continuous professional development and learning toolkit, and that as professional learners, mentoring and coaching need to become part of the development package for teachers and leaders at all levels.

Mentoring and coaching need to be welcomed in education, as it is in industry, as part of every teacher and leader’s learning portfolio to enable them to continue to reflect and deepen their own learning throughout their career through the support of a mentor, or an experienced coach, who can help frame learning conversations and reflections in a safe space.

Mentoring & Coaching in Education: A Guide to Coaching and Mentoring Teachers at Every Stage of their Careers

Published in 2023 with Bloomsbury, this book draws on a wide range of experiences, define coaching and mentoring and explores how these can be used in schools to develop teachers. The theoretical frameworks, key strategies and principles can help teachers to become confident classroom practitioners, as well as future leaders.

In this book you can learn more about our philosophy and approach and learn how you can support others to become the best they can be at every step of their career.

The book provides reflective learning questions as well as additional recommended reading to enable you to continue to learn as a professional. The mentoring and coaching relationship is co-constructive, which means we continue to grow as we learn with others. That is why it is vital to continue to grow in your own learning as a mentor and coach.
