  2. What is the difference between mentoring and coaching?

  3. Mentoring vs. Coaching What is coaching: Coaching provides individual teachers with one-to-one assistance working on identified instructional needs. It is an improvement model based on the belief that teachers, given an opportunity, can diagnose their own teaching and identify ways to strengthen their work. What is mentoring: Mentoring is a sustained relationship in which an experienced teacher is provided an opportunity to share their professional and personal skills, as well as experiences, with a new teacher or mentee.
