ITT Co-Ordinators
In each of our placement schools there will be an ITT Co-Ordinator, usually a member of the Senior Leadership Team who will provide your overall management and support within your training school.
Subject Mentors
The Subject Mentor is the prime agent in training, providing regular guidance on subject knowledge, lesson preparation and delivery, classroom management and the assessment of pupils’ work. The Subject Mentor will meet weekly with you as the prime source of guidance and support as you train to teach.
