London ITT Providers - Mentorship

It is widely recognised that mentors’ play a pivotal role in the education and training of teachers. This role is likely to develop and have even greater significance in the future with an increase in the proportion of time spent in school on programmes of initial teacher training, the emergence of Training Schools and greater diversity of provision through flexible and employment based routes. These factors will be key to informing the design and content of mentor training programmes. We are already witnessing the involvement of Advanced Skills Teachers in contributing to ITT programme design and mentor training programmes and these initiatives are to be welcomed in the development and enhancement of partnership provision.
