? Roles and responsibilities of mentors
? Developing a mentor?mentee relationship
? Guiding beginning science teachers through the lesson planning, teaching and self-evaluation processes
? Observations and pre- and post-lesson discussions and regular mentoring meetings
? Supporting beginning teachers to enhance scientific knowledge and effective pedagogical practices
? Building confidence among beginning teachers to cope with pupils? contingent questions and assess scientific knowledge and skills
? Supporting beginning teachers? planning and teaching to enhance scientific literacy and inquiry among pupils
? Developing autonomous science teachers with an attitude to promote the learning of science for all the learners
Filled with tried-and-tested strategies based on the latest research, Mentoring Science Teachers in the Secondary School is a vital guide for mentors of science teachers, both trainee and newly qualified, with ready-to-use strategies that support and inspire both mentors and beginning teachers alike.
