Mentoring
Mentoring can simply be sharing knowledge, skills and experience to encourage and empower another person. In contexts of teacher development, this process involves enhancing teachers' autonomy to develop for themselves, increasing their ability and willingness to take control of their own learning rather than judging or directly advising them or telling them all the answers. In other words, mentoring for teacher development involves placing teachers at the centre, viewing them as people who can reflect on and address issues for themselves, as 'agents of change' to improve teaching and learning. These days, in many contexts, novice teachers are often assigned a mentor, who is expected to ease their transition from training to an actual teaching situation. However, in the absence of training, many such mentors may engage in judging and 'telling' and not necessarily very much 'empowering'
