I am currently researching a co-coaching approach to tutor mentoring of primary trainees on school placements (a draft was circulated previously but I can resend,if wanted). This small-scale pilot indicates: a) student preference for the approach; b) more oral self-reflective activity from the students, and c) a suggestion of improved overall attainment by the sample cohort on the placement. >Peter >________________________________ > > > > > > > >Dear All > >My colleague, Rachel Lofthouse, was until last year Secondary PGCE director. Along with secondary colleagues they introduced a process whereby the PGCE students filmed themselves teaching, backed up by a specific protocol about questions generated by both parties. The video was then the focus of mentoring. She has researched the impact - generally a positive response with mentors reporting a shift in approach and thinking. Thhis mirrors the effect that video seems to have on coaching, it helps even up power relationships as the video provides a (relatively) neutral record which PGCEer can interrogate, as well as mentor. She presented her results at EARLI this summer. > >Best wishes > >David Leat > >
