Abstract

The theory of mentoring is pertinent to the education system and school leadership. School leadership has been a contested space in research. Empirical evidence indicates that there is a correlation between great school leadership and performance. However, little has been written about transferring good school leadership practice by principals to their deputy principals. This chapter explores and makes a contribution on the role of principals as mentors in mentoring deputy principals. Drawing from the plethora of literature and its extensive and critical evaluation, in this chapter, the researcher argues that mentoring deputy principals contributes towards building the second layer of school leadership and thus enhancing succession planning within the education context.
