We pride ourselves in supporting our mentors throughout the trainee's placement, both face to face, when we undertake ISMOTs (In School Moderation, Observation & Training visits) - the formal termly observation of the trainee, and associated opportunity to discuss expectations, our curriculum and trainee progress with the mentor, and through:
The provision of a comprehensive Mentor Handbook (found here)
This website, with access to documents, videos and further reading to support our mentor's engagement and professional development
Sharing of a Weekly Training Plan throughout the trainee's placement (accompanied by the Mentor Meeting Support Slides)
Opportunities for synchronous and asynchronous training
Responsive email and telephone support via our Programme Secretary, Christian Kitson on 0191 2086532 or secPGCE@ncl.ac.uk , and through Lead Mentors.
