Introduction
Having an effective mentor can make all the difference to a beginner teacher, allowing them to grow from someone who is unfamiliar with the role of a teacher into an autonomous professional. In this final week, you will study the idea of strategic mentoring and how it can fit into the whole school, and the principles of effective mentoring. Finally, you will be asked to reflect back on your learning throughout the course, and consider how you might move forward in becoming the kind of mentor you would like to be.
