Teacher mentorship and support in Kenya: A desktop review

The study sought to provide background information towards the implementation of participatory action research on the strengthening in-service teacher training (SITT) project. The study sought to describe the theoretical background of teacher mentorship and document existing in-service teacher mentorship and support programmes in Kenya. Various in-service teacher mentorship and support programmes exist in Kenya. However, the majority of the programmes were funded and implemented by non-governmental organisations. The existing mentorship programmes were uncoordinated and lacked a follow-up mechanism, thus making them less effective.
