Mentoring and Coaching

Mentoring

“a formalised process based on a developmental relationship between two persons in which one person is more experienced (mentor) than the other (mentee). The mentor provides support, more specifically career, emotional, psychosocial, psychological, and academic support, to promote and facilitate student success, competence development, and career development.”

Nuis, Segers & Beausaert (2023)

Coaching

“We define coaching as the provision of individualised, collaborative and ongoing professional development for an educator that facilitates their growth or learning of job related skills and practices in order to support children’s learning and development.”
