Summary The book will be of great value to both existing and prospective mentors and will assist departmental and school management teams to maximise the benefits and minimise the costs of mentoring student teachers
In the last few years, the focus of the training of science teachers has shifted significantly towards the school based experience. Drawing on the successful Oxford University science internship scheme, this book presents insights of mentoring from several perspectives, providing a rich resource of case study material. After introductory chapters dealing with the rationale for the science internship course, the reader is presented with: logs of mentors' and students' experiences that offer 'windows' onto the mentoring process at different stages in the PGCE course; cameos of students who have been at the centre of a range of complex training situations; reflections of past PGCE students; and accounts of the experiences of heads of science departments when managing the placement of science PGCE students in their schools
