The idea for this book came from involvement in a research project, the Mentoring in Schools project, funded by the Esmee Fairbairn Charitable Trust between September 1993 and July 1995. The book also draws on local evaluation studies of previous pilot projects such as the Articled Teacher Scheme and partnership initiatives with primary schools. A readable, interactive book which presents the phenomenological aspects of school-based training, the human face of mentoring, and which tells how people actually experience school-based teacher education partnerships.USCopyright ?
