Duration
90 Minutes
Learning Method
Remote Delivered CPD

Summary

Trainees and NQTs can bring so much to a computing department, including fresh eyes, new ideas and lots of enthusiasm. One reason why schools don’t take on early careers teachers is the confidence or experience of the computing lead to be able to mentor them.
This CPD, aimed at current mentors outlines some of the key information, skills and attributes to become a mentor of early careers teachers in computing. Participants will look at the need for formal and informal contact, what constructive feedback looks like, the difference between mentoring and coaching and when each are appropriate, as well as looking at the teaching standards relating to both the core content framework and the early careers framework.
