In today’s episode, we look at what makes a great mentor?
NQTs have always had mentors, but the role of mentoring is really emphasised in the ECF, with schools receiving funding for reduced timetables for mentors of ECTs across their 2-year induction. What’s clear though, is that ECTs don’t just need mentors, they need great mentors. This podcast explores the requirements of mentors in the ECF, and what the research suggests makes really effective mentors.
