An evidence-informed guide to effective mentoring in initial teacher education.

Reflecting the 2024 ITE Criteria and latest inspection framework, it is perfect for HE lecturers in education and Initial Teacher Education (ITE) mentors within schools. Accessibly written, it covers the most recent developments in ITE policy and the evolving roles and responsibilities of the school-based mentor.

From 2024, mentors are required to undertake significantly more training than previously, and ITE partnerships are required to develop the role of lead mentor. This timely book supports ITE partnerships and individual mentors in navigating these changes. It prepares readers by outlining the relevant developments in ITE policy, specifically looking at the implications for the roles and responsibilities of mentors.

This book emphasises the shift for ITE mentors from the role of 'assessor' to teacher development. Each chapter is enriched with evidence-informed research and critical questions. Topics include:

• the ITE curriculum,
• inclusive, phase- and subject-specific mentoring,
• trainee progress,
• the principles and models of generic mentoring, and
• mentoring early career teachers.

There is also a chapter dedicated to supporting trainee's workload and mental health including DfE guidance on reducing workload for trainees, reducing cognitive load, and pastoral care in ITE.

Effective Mentoring in Initial Teacher Education is an outstanding resource that transforms the mentoring process into a reflective and impactful experience. This book offers a comprehensive and insightful guide into the intricacies of mentoring, providing practical strategies and reflective practices that are essential for nurturing the next generation of teachers. By integrating thought-provoking questions as reflection points and real-world examples, this book equips both experienced mentors and those new to the role with the tools to foster meaningful growth in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) students. The authors offer a nuanced understanding of the mentoring journey, emphasising the importance of critical reflection and dialogue. This approach not only enhances the mentor-mentee relationship but also encourages deeper professional development for future educators. A must-read for anyone passionate about shaping the future of education in the UK, this book is a beacon of innovative strategies, ensuring that mentoring is both effective and empowering.

Mentoring matters ? especially in a recruitment and retention crisis. Over the last few years, approaches to mentoring and coaching new teachers have changed so much that it has left some busy mentors spinning. This brilliant book is the answer to their prayers. It?s no exaggeration to say that Glazzard and Green?s book is an encyclopaedia of all things mentoring in ITT. From the opening chapters on recent policy changes and context, to the useful examples of how schools and mentors can work with ITE providers, this comprehensive guide is all a school leader needs to familiarise themselves with recent changes. Unlike other mentoring books I have read, it also spends time unpicking and exploring how mentors can provide more inclusive mentoring, for trainees with protected characteristics. The signposting to relevant research and focus on motivation and agency will help mentors become the kind of guides our new teachers need. Absolutely essential reading.
