The Pupil Mentoring Pocketbook (Teachers' Pocketbooks)

Increasingly, schools are tapping into the benefits of mentoring pupils, whether it's to improve behavior, attainment or attendance; to tackle bullying or enhance self-esteem; to support study initiatives; to unlock hidden talent or to assist in the transfer from primary to secondary school. The Pupil Mentoring Pocketbook explains how to: set up and manage a pupil mentoring scheme; train peer mentors; conduct mentoring meetings; evaluate mentoring; persuade people of its benefits; ask relevant questions; and avoid problems and pitfalls. It also looks at the roles of learning mentors and volunteer mentors.
