Frequently Asked Questions
What is mentoring?
It is the tool of staff improvement in which the experienced worker agrees to take the responsibility and agrees to help to build a relationship and to facilitate the professional growth of one or more colleagues. The idea behind the project is to adapt and use this tool for induction and development of a specific group of workers – the teachers. “We encountered the benefits of mentoring in adult education with other projects that the members of our consortium implemented” explained a representative of the MENTOR project. “Also, we are aware that in the countries like the USA or New Zealand there are well-developed programs of teachers mentoring that can be good practice for us to deliver a model adjusted to national and European contexts”.
The MENTOR project is designed to prepare teachers experienced in their profession to become mentors for beginning teachers. Moreover, school leaders, other teachers and personnel in secondary and high schools, and last but not least – students - can also benefit from the mentoring program, which is supposed to result in improvements in efficiency of teaching, students’ achievement and teachers’ job satisfaction.
These aims will be achieved by providing the teachers, who have worked long in their profession, with the knowledge and skills needed to become the mentors for beginning teachers. The model of mentoring between teachers will be elaborated on the basis of the desk and questionnaires researches and tested by the teachers in their schools through the whole school year. The model will include trainings for teachers who will become mentors.
- To organize the desk research about the methods (models) of mentoring, especially between teachers in secondary and high schools in EU countries.
- To elaborate the method (model) of mentoring between teachers in secondary and high schools.
- To organize a set of Trainings for Teachers Mentors (TTM) aimed at familiarizing teachers in the mentoring skills.
- To test delivered mentoring method in the secondary and high schools.

To teach the teacher
-
The MENTOR project is led by Krakowskie Centrum Zarządzania i Administracji (KCZIA) and involves partners from Greece, Portugal, Spain, Romania and Turkey where the teachers’ development issues are similar to our own.
-
The beginning teachers encounter the “transition shock” while starting to work at school just after the graduation from university. Finishing studies with pedagogical courses does not mean that the graduate is really ready to work at school. The induction trainings (if there are any) are very often neglected or simply not enough.
-
What is crucial, is the experience, and the beginning teachers are gaining it by working with our kids. Why to leave them with using trial and error method? Why not to let them from the very start take advantage from the experience of those who already have it – their older colleagues?
