Mentoring

· School Educators

What is mentoring and who needs a mentor? What difference does a mentor make? I have occasionally heard people say that every athlete regardless of their talent requires a coach and this coach can make or break the career of the athlete. In the same way every professional requires a mentor.

A mentor is a senior colleague who can support the professional and personal development of another staff. Through sharing knowledge, expertise and experience This is what is missing from the teaching profession. Teaching can be a very isolated job with teachers grappling with issues around instruction, classroom management, discipline and many more. It is important that in schools part of your support mechanism for your teachers is mentoring.

So why not consider our train the trainers course which equips participants to become well-grounded in the core of the teaching profession. This gives participants an opportunity to be mentored by an instructor with over 15 years of experience in education. People say experience is the best teacher but sometimes it can teach a really hard and harsh lesson. Choose an easier and fast route by learning from another person’s experience.
