Mentoring for educational leaders: a practitioner’s perspective

Abstract

Reflects on the practice of mentoring from a practitioner′s perspective. Explores the strengths of mentoring programmes and notes these far outweigh some of the limitations which might exist. Draws attention to some important issues such as planning, training, and appropriate matching of mentors and protégés which must be considered by schools and districts with an interest in mentoring if these programmes are to achieve success.
