The context for mentoring in Early Childhood Education and Care -- 2. What is mentoring and who mentors -- Characteristics of Effective Mentors -- 3. The Mentoring Process -- Establishing a strong Mentoring Relationship -- Critical Role of Mentor Feedback -- 4. Relationship between Reflective Practice and Mentoring -- 5. Optimal Conditions for Mentoring -- 6. Final Reflections.Informed by current theory and practice, this book adapts a practical approach to mentoring that is grounded in real life experiences. Written in an accessible style, it explores the key concepts, characteristics and considerations of mentoring and mentoring relationships in early childhood and primary education contexts. With a focus upon mentoring as it applies to practicum during initial teacher education, as well as teacher induction, different models and approaches to mentoring, including dyads, triads, peer mentoring, critical friends and communities of practice (CoP) are introduced and evaluated. Engaging with theory, practical scenarios, key learning and reflection points throughout, the book invites the reader to reflect on the mentoring process from different perspectives to build the critical skills required by mentors and mentees alike, to create or enhance a culture of mentoring within their organisation. Written from the perspective of both mentors and mentees, the book is a valuable resource for those in the Further and Higher education sectors, as well as early childhood and school-based mentors. It is relevant to experienced mentors, who may wish to affirm their existing approach to mentoring, or want to explore, discover and embrace new and improved ways of working with a mentee. This book is also essential reading for anyone interested in mentoring, providing a wealth of information, insights and effective strategies for those who may be thinking of undertaking a mentoring role. .Springer Texts in Education,2366-7680Early childhood educationPersonal coachingProfessional educationVocational educationInterpersonal communicationEarly Childhood EducationCoachingProfessional and Vocational EducationCommunication PsychologyEducació infantilthubFormació del professoratthubProfessors en pràctiquesthubMentoriathubLlibres electrònicsthubEarly childhood education.Personal coaching.Professional education.Vocational education.Interpersonal communication.Early Childhood Education.Coaching.Professional and Vocational Education.Communication Psychology.Educació infantilFormació del professorat.Professors en pràctiquesMentoria372.21372.21Moloney Mary1381739Pope Jennifer1381740Donnellan Ann1381741MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910736984703321Professional Mentoring for Early Childhood and Primary School Practice3424588UNINA
