The chapters have been written on the basis of the author's wide-ranging experience of mentoring teachers to do research and co-ordinating teacher-research mentoring schemes internationally. The book is particularly informed by recent experiences supporting mentors on the British Council's Action Research Mentoring Scheme (ARMS) in India and Nepal (2017 onwards). The particular form of teacher-research promoted here – exploratory action research – was originally developed (from 2013 onwards) by the author 2with teachers in Chile, as a means to address the difficult circumstances confronting many schoolteachers there and elsewhere in countries of the Global South. However, the book is written for all those interested in or tasked with the responsibility of mentoring teacher-researchers, regardless of whether you are working with teachers in low- or relatively high-resource classroom contexts, in schools, tertiary institutions or language schools.
