This is a six-month online course worth 60 credits at level 7.

From September 2021 all schools need to apply the Early Careers’ Framework process to their Early Career Teachers. This requires good mentors.

This programme is a distance learning course, which comprises two 30 credit modules at Level 7 that will include covering many aspects of the Mentor Standards (DfE National Standards for school-based mentors, 2016). Examining these standards enables participants to be able to respond to demands from Ofsted regarding the quality of mentoring in their community. Looking at the Mentor Standards will be combined with rigorous academic study at Masters level, evaluating and critiquing a range of academic research relating to mentoring and relating to leadership skills and behaviours, integrating research with practice throughout. Students will be able to critically analyse, engage in and reflect on mentoring and evaluate the implications for their own educational setting.  They will be expected to develop their ability to explore what it means to be a critically reflective practitioner in their work as a mentor.

If you are interested in developing your knowledge further check out our Postgraduate Diploma in Mentoring and MA in Education (Mentoring).


This course will be taught online through 22 twilight webinars across two terms. You will have direct access to your own personal tutor.

Assessment is carried out through written assignments. Guidance and support are given through the courses regarding the expectations of writing at Master's level.

The course consists of two modules as follows:

Module 1: Introduction to Mentoring Theory 

The first of the two modules in the Postgraduate Certificate introduces a range of theories relating to mentoring in education.  One aim is to respond to the findings of the Carter Review (2015) into mentoring in ITT. This suggests that more attention should be given to the quality of training for mentors working in schools. Ofsted recommends that this training needs to be rigorous, in that it should go beyond the ‘structure and nature of the course’ and should look to develop the skills of mentoring. Another aim is to combine the practical needs of mentoring in education with a wide range of scholarship on this topic.

Module 2: A Research Based Approach to Mentoring

This module builds upon the first module and focuses on an examination of existing research to understand how theory is implemented into practice. Building upon the theory and models explored in the previous module, these topics aim to synthesise theory with experience. This module focuses on developing further the skills required for effective mentoring.

Aims of the Programme

  • To provide an in-depth analysis of the Mentor Standards
    • 1. Personal qualities
    • 2. Teaching
    • 3. Professionalism
    • 4. Self-development and working in partnership
  • To combine practice with relevant research and evidence-based practice in academic study at Master’s level
  • To enable participants to reflect upon and improve their support of mentees
  • Through the development of academic criticality, and the synthesis of this with relevant evidence-informed practice, to prepare participants to become well-informed educational leaders of the future

Who should take this course?  

  • Teachers in the UK and internationally
  • Current mentors on ITT programmes
  • Mentors in SCITTs
  • Alumni
  • Overseas teachers

这是一个为期六个月研究生等级(Level 7)在线课程,含60个学分。

自2021年9月起,所有学校都需要将早期职业框架(Early Careers’Framework)流程应用于其新教师培训。实现这一目标,需要优质的教学导师。

本项目是一门线上课程,包括两个 30 学分的研究生等级(Level 7)教学模块,内容涵盖导师标准(校本导师国家标准, 英国教育部, 2016年)的许多方面。深入学习这些标准使参与者能够有的放矢地实现英国教育标准局(Ofsted)有关教学督导的各项要求。

除此,项目学习还将涵盖研究生等级(Level 7)的学术研究,使学生能够深入了解并批判性地思考有关督导和领导力的技术和行为模式。项目学习始终将研究和实践紧密结合。

完成本项目后,学生不仅能实践学术督导,更能批判性地分析和反思自己的工作,并评估这对他们身处教育环境的影响。项目目标还包含培养学生有能力在自己的教学环境中主动发掘成为具有批判性反思能力的教学导师的具体内涵。

如需进一步深入学习这一主题,欢迎您了解我们的教学导师研究生文凭教育硕士(教学导师) 课程


教学和评估

本课程将通过横跨两个学期的22次晚间网络研讨会在线授课。学生会有专门的大学导师一对一地提供学习支持。

评估将通过写作作业进行。大学还将全程为学生提供指导和帮助,以确保学生达到硕士级别所要求的论文写作水平。

该课程由以下两个模块组成:

模块1:导师理论概述(30学分)

这一模块介绍了一系列与教育督导相关的理论。本模块要实现两个目标。一是将卡特评论 (2015) 的调查结果应用到新晋教师的培训当中。该报告指出学校亟待提高对于本校教学导师的培训质量。英国教育标准局更建议,对于教学导师的培训不应仅被看作是 “一门课程”,更应着眼于发展教学导师的实际技能。该模块的另一个目标是使学生可以将教学指导的实际需求与该领域丰富的学术研究相结合,做到理论指导实践。

模块2:基于研究的教学督导方式(30学分)

在学习第一个模块的基础上,本模块侧重于深入探讨如何将理论付诸实践。本模块着眼于帮助教学导师根据上一模块中了解到的理论和模型理论,将自己的实践经验归类总结。学生将在这一模块地学习中进一步发展实施有效教学指导所需的技能。


课程目标

  • 能够从个人素质、教学、专业性、自我发展与合作等方面对导师标准进行深入分析
  • 能将相关研究和实践相结合,进行研究生等级(Level 7)的学术研究
  • 使学生能够反思并改善对被辅导者的帮助和支持
  • 通过发展学术批判性,将此与循证实践相结合,为学生成为了解行业的未来教育领导者做好准备
