Module abstract
As mentoring and coaching is a supportive, long-term relationship between an experienced mentor and their less experienced mentee, it is the intention of this module to offer you the opportunity to critically explore all the key principles and practices that underpin this relationship.
Across all sectors within the education and training field there is an expectation that mentorship and coaching will form the basis of most developmental discussions to enable growth in all aspects of skills, knowledge and attitudes and also to support in the identification of career aspirations.
We will discuss the prevailing models whilst exploring alternatives. By looking at differing models, along with their concurrent ideologies, we will attempt to define specific models that will benefit practice in this sector.
