Developing effective mentors

Lead Mentors and other colleagues with responsibility for the work of school-based mentors have a range of resources and approaches that they can draw on to ensure coherence, consistency and effectiveness. This module outlines this range of resources and approaches.

 

The aims of this module are to:

• Understand the most effective ways in which Lead Mentors can ensure high quality mentoring by General Mentors (ie school-based mentors)
• Consider relevant approaches to creating high quality partnership documentation and training materials that are compliant with national policies and frameworks
• Reflect on areas where challenges might occur within the context of partnership mentoring and how Lead Mentors might best support.
