Mentoring and Developing Practice in Primary Schools
A guide to transforming traditional student teaching practices in primary school from "just another burden imposed on the teacher" to an active program of mentoring. Edwards (primary education, U. of Leeds) proposes that students learn best when supported by active mentors, outlining how learning teachers can serve as mentors and the development programs which can be institutionally implemented to support such a strategy. The author supplies case studies linking assessment, pedagogy, and research to practical mentoring activities. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
