Course overview
Mentors are a source of practical support and inspiration at a time when beginning teachers need it most. Mentors can help beginning teachers build the capability and resilience they need to support their transition from graduate teachers to fully registered members of this rewarding profession.
In a mentoring role, experienced teachers can also develop their leadership and interpersonal skills, make a valued contribution to their school and re-energise their career.
