- conducting academic research into teacher education in a university setting
- facilitating a community of practice made up of teachers working on a collaborative output
- working as an inspector or supervisor evaluating the competence and performance of classroom teachers
- formally mentoring undergraduate/postgraduate teachers-in-training.

Educators and mentors
Hi Dalal
A good question! I would say a teacher educator facilitates or runs training courses or events for teachers, whereas a mentor might work with individual teachers offering less "formal" advice or training, but more as someone to bounce ideas off, guide teachers and also to model good teaching practices in their own classrooms.
