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.

This book draws together various theoretical and research-based perspectives to examine the institutionalization of mentoring processes for beginning teachers. Teacher induction, defined as the guidance provided to new teachers, is increasingly gaining traction as a key stage in promoting quality education. Major efforts have been put into reducing transitional challenges from being a student teacher to a practicing teacher; optimizing professional relationships and socialization into school dynamics; and increasing teacher retention. Mentoring has been proven to add benefits in assisting beginning teachers during the early years of their teaching career, because it provides the required knowledge and skills to face uncertain school scenarios and the complexities of practice. However, teacher induction programs are not part of regular instruction in many countries. The lack of teacher training during the induction phase might result in lower levels of commitment, professional isolation, or even attrition. This book calls for more concrete mentoring processes for early career teachers, and questions how this can be put into practice.
