The ultimate aim of this project was to develop a five-day intensive programme for 'mentors', this definition included teachers in schools who had the task of inducting new teachers. The mentors were involved in actively identifying and exploring their own needs and their role in the novice teachers induction period as well as in considering and evaluating the various strategies and materials currently available to them to support their role in schools. This was designed to result in an increase in their knowledge about the qualities, skills and practices involved in supporting beginning teachers. The principal outcome was to be the TISSNTE "Suitcase of Support" that can be found in the Virtual Library on this website.
