I’m going to be mentoring an NQT for the first time from September! We’re in one of the ‘Early Roll Out’ areas for the Early Career Framework and have signed up for the two year programme so our NQT will get the extra 5% release time in her second year and we’ll both get some online training. I’m also going to speak to the deputy head today who’s been a mentor before to get some advice and details of how to register with the local authority. I’ve emailed our NQT to introduce myself and put her in touch with the teacher who’s taught her class this year and I’ve been negotiating with IT to get her laptop organised as that’s been known to take months! I’m in the ‘wider leadership team’ 🙄 so will organise the NQT time for a time I’m not in class and have been thinking about what written information and logins she will need - she’s done some supply with us (pre-Covid) so knows the layout of the building etc - but obviously I don’t want to overload her or make it seem she needs to do lots now as she’s not starting until September. I would appreciate any advice from experienced mentors or past NQTs as to how I can best support.
