The Future of the Mentoring and Coaching Resources now on the TDA 'Extranet'
As part of the ongoing 'rationalisation' of TDA functions and services, the decision has been taken to shut down the Mentoring and Coaching Extranet. TDA now redirects all queries about this to CUREE. You might be here because you have followed that link.
The Extranet housed the resources developed to support the National Mentoring and Coaching Framework developed by CUREE and commissioned by the Department for Education (not it's name at the time). The resources included live video clips of mentoring and coaching dialogues, enquiry tools, guides, case studies and summaries of the related research. We are evaluating the possibility of making some or all of these resources available from the CUREE website but there are some technical issues to explore and overcome before we can do this.

It improved understanding of how to overcome difficulties in challenging students, and highlighted the importance of providing appropriate levels of challenge in the classroom. The case studies were very useful.
