Abstract
The paper focuses on the conversations between one student teacher and her mentor during the mentor's first year in that role. Analysis of the conversations makes a modest contribution to the slim but growing literature on the process of mentoring in practice. The research adopts a methodology which not only aims to elicit what the mentor's practice is, but also explicitly aims to promote mentor development. Finally, the paper presents a case for exploring such participatory methodologies in future research on mentoring.Keywords
