The range of work with young people
|
Mentoring and tutoring student teachers is a free course that explores the distinctive roles of mentors and tutors in teacher education. Discover the differences and similarities between these roles, and develop effective strategies for supporting beginner teachers. Enhance your understanding of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) and pedagogy.
This free course, The range of work with young people, identifies some features that we might use to describe the various settings where work with young people takes place. This encourages us to identify similarities and differences between settings. It then introduces some theoretical perspectives to help us review these settings and thus understand more about the experience for young people and workers. Finally, it uses these perspectives to analyse examples of different settings, relating the theoretical ideas to the realities of practice.
