THE “TEACHER – CONSULTANT”: COACHING AND MENTORING TOOLS IN THE CONTEXT OF SECONDARY EDUCATION SCHOOLS
Nowadays being a teacher doesn’t only mean to teach but it also means to help, to be an active listener and to be a guide for students and colleagues. And that’s the reason why it is very important to be prepared to face any kind of situation that can arise in school environments. Schools are the mirror of society, sometimes of the small and the big context where the school is based, sometimes of the wider framework. Most of the times a teacher replaces the figure of a coach or has to be more of a mentor than an expert in the subject. Teachers enter students’ lives and constitute the biggest support substituting families.
