Mentoring Skills

Oxford Teachers’ Academy*

This course is designed to support the development of mentoring in a variety of education contexts. It takes the view that mentoring consists of a one-to-one relationship that seeks to support professional development of an individual using a range of approaches, frameworks and techniques that most suit the situation in question.

 

The course, therefore,

  • explores the qualities and competences of a mentor and how these might be developed,
  • identifies and practices mentor techniques and activities appropriate for the different approaches and
  • analyses the interaction frameworks which might be used in mentor meetings to enhance their developmental impact.

 

In addition, the course offers practical support in the process of either evaluating an existing institutional mentor provision or in the design and implementation of a new program. The focus throughout is on hands-on experimentation with practical activities and their subsequent analysis for contextual relevance and application.
