LOOP Toolkit for Mentoring – It is a set of tools for leaders, mentors and teachers at different stages of their careers, available in the learning community and based on an online and interactive training platform, of which the LOOP Coalitions is a part of, and which also integrates the mentoring and Match the Mentor Tool; this product also enables users to access a personalised ecosystem of national and European resources to develop their skills according to need and/or interest, carrying out a learning pathway supported by a community and the general objectives are:
i) Strengthening the relationships between stakeholders and peer learning and peer mentoring activities
ii) Allowing work on the allocation of adequate or constructed resources
iii) Ensuring resources that meet the needs of school leaders, mentors and teachers
iv) Underpinning the development of mentoring programs (training, implementation and impact assessment)
v) Supporting training programs for mentors and teachers
The LOOP Toolkit for Mentoring has a high transferability because i) it is part of a diagnosis carried out in different European contexts, including teacher training needs at different career stages and ages (TALIS, 2018), ii) it stems from the identification and mapping of existing Mentoring and Induction programs in Europe iii) it is designed in the languages of the countries involved and in English, iv) it is allocated to a digital platform, v) it integrates a broad program of dissemination of the project and intellectual outputs.
LOOP Provider for Better Outcomes – the community of mentors, formed in LOOP Coalitions is responsible for the European Training Benchmark, which results from the co-design of the mentoring program for mentors at an early stage and for teachers in early career and mobility at a second stage; this benchmark will be developed by the community established among mentors with the support of Match the Mentor.
