Induction and Mentoring of Newly Qualified Teachers : A New Deal for Teachers

First Published in 1999. Every school employing newly qualified teachers (NQTs) from 1999 onwards is required to provide them with structured support and training. This book offers comprehensive guidance to classroom teachers, heads of department and senior managers on effective induction and mentoring. Much of its content will also relate to the mentoring of student teachers on school experience. Organised into three key parts, the book examines the tools and responsibilities of induction and mentoring, the development of good mentoring relationships and the management of support and training. Based on good practice developed in schools and training courses, it will serve the practical and immediate needs of mentors and induction managers, while also helping them to reflect on the wider, underlying issues involved in getting teaching careers off to a good start. Appropriate reference is made to the Teaching and Induction Standards, Career Entry Profiles and the DFEE's new arrangements for induction.
