Description du livre
The position of teacher
demonstrates a broader role within schools, the education system and the
community. It is in our educators’ capacity, resources, knowledge and networks
that they can provide for, and meet the needs of, students better than any
other societal program or group. While mentoring practices are usually limited
to “at-risk” students, research suggests a more robust understanding of the
needs of students, as well as teachers as practitioners. With a discussion
focused on the relevant literature, insight from both practicing teachers who
mentor their students and students who were mentored by their teachers,
Continued Momentum: Teaching as Mentoring explores the dimensions of how
teachers mentor their students. Appropriate for pre-service and experienced
teachers, administrators and school support workers; this pivotal text reveals
how teachers can engage students in the modern educational reality.
