dc.description.abstract | This article draws upon research undertaken with 28 teacher education mentors,
managers and trainee teachers within the SW Centre for Excellence in Teacher
Training (CETT) in 2008, following the introduction of the new revised Lifelong
Learning UK (LLUK) standards. The first part of the article locates and contextualises
the policy context in relation to the school and further education (FE) sectors.
Two separate and distinctive models of mentoring practice are delineated, the first
model as a source of formative support for trainee teachers, and the second model
as a tool for the assessment of competence. The article concludes by suggesting
that the danger and indeed unintended consequence of separating out these functions
of mentoring is that an unnecessary dichotomy is created that dislocates
coherent teacher practices from one another. It argues that what is needed is a sustained
period of stability in the sector. This would leave a space for CETT professionals
and others to promote those practices that will make a difference not only
to the work of teacher educators but to the work of staff and students. | en_GB |
