Hi Rachel, and thanks to both Karen and Rachel B for referencing my work. Here is the link to the suite of programmes: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/rs/ecr/mentoring <https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/rs/ecr/mentoring> please feel free to click around, there is a lot of information openly available. The programme you may be most interested in is the Think Ahead Mentoring Programme <https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/rs/ecr/mentoring/index> — there are participant case studies that illustrate the impact of the programme branching from that page too. Take a look also at this document created by the BBSRC (contact James Donald cc’d): http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/skills/developing-careers/academic-mentoring/ <http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/skills/developing-careers/academic-mentoring/> I have also just written a best practice case study for the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education about the design and development of this same programme — it describes the underpinning policies and framework. If you drop me a line directly, I can advise you on the anticipated publication date for that piece of work on their web pages.

We are piloting a mentoring scheme for teaching and supporting learning this year for the first time which I am researching and evaluating, using much of Kay's experience and support. It may be too soon to know what constitutes success and effectiveness, but I would be interested in discussing our approach further with you for our mutual benefit. Please feel free to contact me off list. We can share back with the SEDA community afterwards. > > Best Wishes, > > Rachel > > On 23 January 2018 at 14:22, Karen Clegg <[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: > Dear Katie, I am just in the process of evaluating our pilot mentoring scheme for postdocs and would be happy to speak to you about it. > > Sheffield have had mentoring in place for years and would certainly be worth talking to.

I would very much appreciate any input you may have about best practice in academic mentoring at other (especially research-intensive) institutions.
