EDLED506

This paper advances the conceptual, theoretical and practical understanding of coaching and mentoring introduced in EDLED503. It expands the interpersonal skills and knowledge essential for effective coaching/mentoring in educational contexts and continues the emphasis on critical reflection on practice. Participants will be in an active coaching/mentoring role for the duration of the paper and develop an evidence-based personal practice portfolio. The paper will be of interest to practitioners who are currently coaching or mentoring colleagues; for example, tutor and associate teachers, middle and senior leaders in schools and tertiary institutions, and professionals in wider education contexts.
