CT2M Mentoring Development Certificate

Loading...

Suitable for: practising mentors working with classroom-based teachers (practising classroom teachers and middle leaders may opt to undertake the Expertise in Teaching Certificate and practising school leaders may opt to undertake the Certificate in Strategic CPD Leadership instead).

Refine your mentoring practice through evidence-informed action and purposeful reflection, to showcase your mentoring expertise.

This certified online course will enable you to explore research and apply what you learn directly to your mentoring practice, strengthening your impact and supporting teacher education in your context.

The Mentoring Development Certificate is designed to fit with your existing professional development priorities, meaning you can choose to focus on an aspect of your mentoring practice that is important to you and that will help your teachers, pupils and school to flourish.

You will engage with evidence around effective mentoring, considering the development of expertise, both for yourself as a mentor as well as for your mentees. After evaluating your mentoring approach, you’ll choose a focus area to explore in more depth, engaging with research to draw out what effective mentoring practice looks like. You’ll then dedicate time to apply what you have learnt utilising purposeful practice; you will identify clear goals that will help you to systematically hone your mentoring skills, reflecting deeply on your progress towards those goals.

Please note: In undertaking this assessment unit you will be required to seek feedback on your mentoring from a colleague, supervisor or coach. Or alternatively, you can seek feedback from a mentee.
