We have collated a range of documents which our mentors typically find useful below, including the Mentor Guide, Key Dates & Themes, Curriculum Schedule Overview and The 10 Principles of Mentoring Instruction. Other documents and templates are included within the Mentor Documentation tab, categorised by activity. If there are any documents not found here that you would like to be added, please contact us at secPGCE@ncl.ac.uk and we will update this page accordingly.
Most of what you need can be found here on the Mentor Support Website, but a handbook is provided here for further information if required (This is probably best accessed electronically, using the index or "Ctrl F" to find the key word/s you are looking for).
(Best printed to A4)
Throughout the year we will remind you through the Weekly Training Plan and emails from secPGCE@ncl.ac.uk / ed.pgce@durham.ac.uk of the expectations, events and deadlines associated with mentoring.

Just as effective teachers consider adaptations to support their pupils, from those with broader areas of need, to those with specific Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, and Individual Health Care Plans, effective mentors adopt a mindful approach to working with their trainee.
This guidance is helpful in supporting mentors generally, but is particularly useful for those of you who are working with neurodivergent trainee teachers.
