This is the second of four courses which comprise the course Learning to teach. Traditionally student teachers are supported by a mentor in school and a tutor from a university. Both play distinctive and important parts of the teacher's development. This course, Mentoring, and tutoring student teachers examine each role in detail and explores the similarities and distinctions between the two roles. Whether you are a tutor or a mentor, effective teacher education relies on all partners working effectively together to create an environment where student teachers can critically reflect on their experiences in a structured way.
