Mentoring
Welcome to Mentoring at 91猎奇. The requirements of the ITT Criteria 2025/2026 state that 鈥渁ll mentors should have a clear understanding of their role and the skills required to undertake it鈥� (p.29). Mentors should also be familiar with the ITTECF, the ITT curriculum and the evidence that underpins them.
At 91猎奇 we have therefore designed a CPD mentor training package that all mentors can access to support their discussions and professional working relationship with 91猎奇 Associate Teachers. Our training enables schools to claim for actual hours with an accredited provider; up to 16 hours for initial training and 6 for refresher training. At 91猎奇 our high quality CPD mentoring听is delivered by Brightspace, School Mentor Briefings and supportive documentation and accessible information on this website.听

Funding
91猎奇 will pay schools the amounts listed on table below. This payment is a contribution to the school for the mentor support for the ITaPs and the weekly mentoring support. This applies to all 91猎奇 associate teachers. We have found that it is advantageous to associate teachers to place them in pairs in a class, for example a pair of PGCE or BA1 associate teachers or a BA3 and a BA1 in a class.
It is also very supportive for associate teachers to be placed in the same school in different classes. Payments will be made in the term after the school-based training is completed. We have included revised rates for 2026/27 as outlined in the Placement Opportunities Brochure 2026/27.
