Secondary Subject Mentor role transcript

Secondary Subject Mentors have a more focused and specific responsibility. They play a leading role in working with trainees on the teaching of their specialist subject, providing information on school policy and pedagogical practice, and providing feedback to trainees based on classroom observations. They liaise with University Tutors about trainee progress. They also provide an avenue through which University provision is related to the specific circumstances of the School. Subject Mentors and, to a lesser extent, Professional Mentors will play a key role in conducting learning conversations and take the leading role in assessing trainees’ competence as classroom teachers, using the Teachers’ Standards and the Warwick Assessment Descriptors.
