A mixture of documents, reports and resources originating from professional development courses and conferences being made available to all teachers and purpose-designed distance learning materials including peer coaching, political literacy and men in teaching.
- Making the Most of Your Coach or Mentor (e/2)
Get what you want from coaching and mentoring. Unique to NUT members.
Too often, training and materials for mentoring and coaching focus exclusively on the skills of coaches and mentors themselves. Now, the Centre for the Use of Research and Evidence in Education (CUREE) has developed for NUT CPD Programme an interactive, multimedia, distance learning resource. It enables teachers who are being coached or mentored to act confidently when they are discussing their teaching and learning with their coaches or mentors. This resource will put NUT members in charge of their own learning and enhance their skills.
