The roles of the mentor and link tutor in primary school mentor training

Abstract

This paper reports the evaluation of a small scale pilot mentoring scheme developed by a University Faculty of Education and some of its link primary schools to illuminate how the initiative might most profitably be developed in future years. This evaluation focused on the perceptions of all the parties involved in the mentoring (Head teachers, mentors, class teachers, students and link tutors) about their roles. Some suggestions are made about how the scheme might be developed in the future.
