The induction programs and their mentoring activities are regulated, but their implementation is very unequal. Its configuration depends on the characteristics of the school contexts, on the involvement of management and management staff, on teaching and citizenship concepts.

 

It is imperative to study the pattern of its implementation, an innovative approach through which the real causes that have hindered the success of mentoring programs are sought, changing these specific realities.

 

This set of actions implies a common understanding on the vision of each partner, ensuring innovation and contributions for the participants.

 

The consortium is aware that only through these strategic alliances can the necessary and urgent work be carried out.

GOALS

  • Providing a common vision on induction programs 

  • Characterizing the mentoring programs and their variations

  • Knowing the role and opinion of school leaders and other stakeholders 

  • Knowing and portraying the role of mentors

  • Knowing the impact and needs of organizations

  • Constituting a mentoring bank

  • Developing a strategy to support mentoring programs

  • Building bridges between the different performers

TARGET GROUPS

  • School leaders (directors and middle management)

  • Local authorities and other stakeholders identified within the partnership

  • Those in charge of organisations for teacher training

  • Teachers at different career stages

LOOP TOOLKIT FOR MENTORING
Match the Mentor platform
LOOP Unconferences

Supported by an interactive online platform, it will materialize the collective project with a set of tools to support peer-to-peer cooperation relations, looking for a transformation in teacher training processes.

In addition to a resource bank, it is a mechanism to characterise the profile of the participants in order to define their learning path.

 

It responds to the challenges and needs of users by proposing activities and resources based on their interests, research and documents with different formats and examples of best practice.

 

As the community evolves, users are invited to present new resources, resizing the toolkit and addressing inequalities within participating organisations and by extension in European countries.

 

The Toolkit is based on a semi-structured framework, comprising a set of resources, easy to interact with, metadata, evaluation and feedback, visualisation and intelligible administration.

GOALS

  • Strengthening the relationships between stakeholders and peer learning and peer
    mentoring activities

  • Allowing work on the allocation of adequate or constructed resources

  • Ensuring resources that meet the needs of school leaders, mentors and teachers

  • Underpinning the development of mentoring programs (training, implementation and impact assessment)

  • Supporting training programs for mentors and teachers

  • Supporting the development of Match the Mentor by Mentors
    within the consortium

  • Preserving the results of the activities

TARGET GROUPS

  • School leaders (directors and middle management)

  • Local authorities and other stakeholders identified within the partnership

  • Those in charge of organisations for teacher training

  • Teachers at different career stages

LOOP PROVIDER FOR BETTER OUTCOMES

In building the Mentoring Program for Mentors, users register in LOOP Coalitions, and by interacting with the platform, they built their profile, answering questions such as:

- cultural background;
- pedagogical conceptions;
- experience;
- communication skills;
- creativity,
- knowledge about the teaching profession;
- problem solving skills;
- motivation;
- training needs.

The activities are developed through digital and interactive resources, but the effective added value results from intergenerational cooperation, supported by a relationship between peers, school leaders and teacher trainers (higher education and training entities/centres).

GOALS

  • clarify the role and competencies of a mentor and of a leader

  • identify the necessary learning and development pathways
  • develop educational approaches to mentoring practices

  • create a mentoring program suitable for mentors and other teachers

  • identify strategies for implementing mentoring programs

  • allocate and implement strategies for evaluating training pathways

  • implementation strategies

TARGET GROUPS

  • School leaders (headmasters and middle management staff of schools)

  • Local authorities and other stakeholders identified within the partnership

  • Those responsible for teacher training organisations (training centres and universities)

  • Teachers at different career stages
