Dear CSSE colleagues,
We hope this email finds you well.
As guest editors of the Special Issue (SI) of the International Journal of Mentoring and Coaching in Education (IJMCE), Dr. Lorraine Godden and I would like to invite you to consider submitting the article to a Special Issue (SI) focusing on the role of mentoring and coaching as a means of supporting the well-being of educators.
Our aim for the SI is to:
- Raise awareness of potential benefits, challenges and implications of mentorship and coaching as supportive structures for the well-being of educational professionals in a variety of educational contexts (including compulsory and post-compulsory educational settings).
- Contribute to and enhance the body of literature pertaining to the role of mentoring and coaching in supporting the holistic well-being and ongoing learning and development of educators.
Articles for the special issue may:
- include original research, reports of exemplary programs, practitioner learning, conceptual pieces, or reviews of literature;
- focus on the well-being capacity development of educators and/or those who act as mentors and coaches.
Authors may consider:
- How can mentorship and coaching support the well-being and mental health of educators who work in complex and stressful environments?
- How can well-being capacity contribute to the well-being of educators’ protégés, students, and colleagues?
