mentoring

Relevance: the problem of adapting and retaining young teachers in schools remains one of the most pressing issues in the Russian education system. Despite the availability of various forms of mentoring and support, the potential of classical universities to act as “released” mentors for novice teachers remains underutilized.

The relevance of the study is due to the necessity to solve the problem of shortage and retention of teaching staff in educational organizations. Currently, schools of young teachers, problem seminars, advanced training programs, individual educational routes, and mentoring are used to overcome professional and personal diffi culties of starter teachers. Mentoring is the most promising form of support for young teachers at their workplace. However, the mentoring potential of pedagogical universities is not fully utilized.
