The LJMU Partnership recognises that school ITT Mentors are fundamental to the quality of the trainees’ learning experiences and to the success of individual trainees and our ITT programmes. Mentoring will evolve, depending on the Phase of training and a trainee’s individual needs, but typically the role develops from one of supervision in Phase 1, to mentoring in Phase 2 and coaching and co-enquiry in Phase 3.
To facilitate the mentoring role there are several key mentoring processes and associated proformas.
Formative Lesson Analysis and Feedback
- Minimum 2 formal per week (1 formal for SALARIED trainees)
- Proforma completed by the ITT Mentor/classroom teacher.
- Lesson Analysis Forms should feed directly into the Weekly Meeting to identify strengths and set targets moving forward.
