We've had a situation with 2 late hires being PCT1s and so mentors weren't organised appropriately in time.

Would love this job to go to experienced teachers not in leadership positions as well. ]]> 2022-04-13 04:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/alanawebster/es41fdhp0rv0df3o/wish/2141903068 https://padlet.com/alanawebster/es41fdhp0rv0df3o/wish/2141903122 We have 12 WISC and 1 SCT - this does give our large number of PCTs help.

This is then built into the mentor's allocation of teaching periods prior to classes being added.

Other teachers teaching same content are shoulder tapped too.

Mentors should really be being picked on their ability to mentor - coaching questions, encouraging reflection but as has been previously stated i nthe course this training is not often provided by the school and numbers and time often force other choices. ]]> 2022-04-13 04:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/alanawebster/es41fdhp0rv0df3o/wish/2141904023 https://padlet.com/alanawebster/es41fdhp0rv0df3o/wish/2141904067 honestly cannot answer this question as it would depend on the needs of the mentee.
