Overview
"Mentoring and ""reflective practice"" have become central elements in the development of teacher learning. This book examines the processes which support mentors, in-service co-ordinators and heads of history departments in their professional developmental work with student teachers, newly qualified teachers and experienced colleagues. Key aspects of mentoring are examined, and the book offers practical guidance on topics such as ""collaborative teaching"", ""observation', and ""discursive mentoring"". Other issues such as: appraisal, departmental reviewing and the management of quality and curriculum development are also considered within the framework of history teaching and learning. The book offers a practical guide for teachers, mentors and heads of history, and those engaged in providing mentor training and development, and INSET co-ordinators."
