How much should they be teaching? Page 6 of the Mentors’ Handbook The main aim of the Practical Teaching 1 module is to provide a wide experience of working with pupils and a greater familiarity with the day-to-day work of the class teacher. It will enable them to come to terms with teaching situations, to gain confidence in their abilities as a teacher and ensure that they are making reasonable progress towards meeting the Teachers’ Standards. Trainees will be expected to build their teaching to approx. 30% of the week (7 or 8 lessons in a 25 period week) by the end of PT1. Contact time may be around 50-60% of the week, but give them time to plan.

ePDP Weekly Mentor Session Record PDP will be completed electronically via Pebblepad. They do not submit lesson plans and observation forms but they need to keep a teaching file (electronic or hard copy) with them in.
