This book is a rich resource for all those who support the learning of teachers.  These ‘teachers of teachers' (ToTs) may find themselves:

• 
  
• Being responsible for staff development within the context of a school;
  
• Running a one-off workshop or a longer in-service programme;
  
• Teaching university-based elements of an initial teacher preparation (ITP) programme; or
  
• Mentoring a trainee during the classroom based elements of their ITP or as part of an ongoing programme of inservice provision. 
• • 
    

  Based on many years of experience in the field as ToTs and researchers, the authors provide strategies which support the following processes and practices:

  
  

  • 
    
  • Designing and planning effective programmes to support teacher learning
    
  • Planning sessions or sequences of sessions on such programmes
    
  • Engaging in a one-to-one mentoring process
    
  • Assessing teachers and their learning
    
  • Managing your personal development as a ToTs
