Professional learning and development for higher education personal tutors and academic advisors.
With contributions from 50 practitioners from across the sector, this text examines the key themes, theories and concepts relevant to personal tutors and academic advisors and translates these into real-world practice. Case study narratives from a range of settings demonstrate how student learning and outcomes can be improved, and related critical thinking activities encourage reflection on how these learnings can be applied in specific contexts. The book provides invaluable insights and support for all personal tutors and academic advisors, enabling practitioners to learn from each other, develop innovative ideas, and feel part of a community of learning.
Please also see Effective Personal Tutoring in Higher Education for the themes on which the case studies in this collection are based.
This book is the perfect companion to its predecessor ‘Effective Personal Tutoring in Higher Education’. Moving from tutoring theory to case study based examples provides a rich set of examples for new and experienced personal tutors. The companion is accessible for practitioners and for those developing personal tutoring frameworks. As an acting personal tutor and academic lead for developing personal tutoring systems, I have found this book has supported the development of my practice and in opening discussions with colleagues around coaching and tutoring. I would recommend this book to anyone involved in tutoring in higher education.
