Subject perspectives in mentoring

This book brings together the work of teams in six universities involved in school-based partnerships for teacher education. The focus is on the distinctive work of school-based teacher educators, the teacher mentors in the partnership schools, both primary and secondary. The Editors have coordinated the project, a national conference and the book itself, writing introductory and concluding chapters and synthesising the work of the six teams. The teams are from Oxford University, the Manchester Metropolitan University, Keele, Sussex, Swansea and Leicester Universities. All involved in school-based teacher education - whether as mentors, teacher trainers in higher education, school senior management, advisers, or inspectors - should find the range of experience presented here invaluable in their own work.
