Induction Tutor

• Ensure conditions in school enable the implementation of the Early Career Framework programme, including the reduction in timetable for ECTs and the time Mentors need to fulfil their role as well as the opportunity to attend clinics and conferences

• Use Steplab, our online platform, to ensure mentors are assigned to coaches

• Support mentors and teachers to engage meaningfully with the programme

• Track and monitor the quality of instructional coaching taking place between mentor and teacher by observing this in mentor meetings

• Track and monitor the engagement of mentors and teachers on the programme weekly using Steplab’s ‘Lead’ tab

What is engagement?

• Every week, an ECT1 should do one module of Steplab study.

• Every fortnight, an ECT2 should do one module of Steplab study.

• Every week, an ECT1 should be observed and receive instructional coaching in a feedback session.

• Every fortnight, an ECT2 should be observed and receive instructional coaching in a feedback session.
