Description : Coaching and Mentoring Students in Higher Education provides student support and learning development professionals with a comprehensive, evidence-based guide for delivering coaching and mentoring interventions with students. Focused on the context of higher education, it shares practitioner and research insights from a range of coaching and mentoring programmes and considers their transferability to the international higher education sector. It is a collection of practitioner research based on literature reviews, qualitative and quantitative evaluation of student feedback and scenario case studies. Each chapter offers practical tips and recommendations for colleagues in the sector looking to implement coaching and mentoring as a mode of support. Inviting readers to reflect upon their learning at key stages throughout the book, it addresses many key issues for higher education providers – including student engagement, retention and mental health and wellbeing. This essential volume contributes to the growing body of scholarship looking at coaching and mentoring support at university and the impact on retention and student outcomes, and is key reading for senior leaders, strategic managers and student-facing staff alike.
