Mentoring, observation and interviews are three important strategies in developing student teachers. This unit, which gives a flavour of The Open University's flexible PGCE course, introduces student–teacher centred strategies both inside and outside of the classroom involving mentors, pupils, tutors and others to develop student teachers' professional skills and understanding. This study unit is just one of many that can be found on LearningSpace, part of OpenLearn, a collection of open educational resources from The Open University.

Why listen

This is a compact Open University teacher-training resource focused on how mentoring, observation, and interviews help student teachers develop professionally. It is best for trainee teachers, mentors, or education tutors who want a structured study unit rather than a conversational show. Expect practical, course-like material centered on classroom development and reflective professional practice.
