The author draws on his experience as a teacher, researcher and educational consultant to emphasise that colleague support, can, and does, make a difference to individual teachers and whole school cultures.

He asks the questions:

• What makes colleague support effective and why?
• Who initiates support and how?
• How does such support affect personal coping and the ability to manage the day-to-day grind of teaching?
• How does colleague support affect longer term issues such as professional feedback, appraisal of teaching, curriculum planning, lesson planning?
• How does it affect ongoing concerns such as classroom discipline and behaviour management?
• How does colleague support affect the impact and management of change?
