University of Brighton Mentor Responsibilities 1. Student Induction  Awareness of school policies and protocol  Safeguarding policies and key staff 2. Mentoring To enable each student to make maximum progress through:  Regular meetings (weekly) to agree, monitor and challenge ITDP/action plan.

University of Brighton Prior to an observation and on a weekly basis, look in student’s e-portfolio :  IDTP/Action plans and weekly evaluations: what are the current priorities for this student? Is there a link between the two?  How do these reflect the feedback provided so far?  Is the student being proactive in setting targets and developing actions? As part of an observation and feedback:  Observe lesson and use ‘Lesson Observation Criteria’ (p 27-28) to guide your judgement. Record grade and formative feedback on PA form  Sample a sequence of lesson plans, class assessments and evaluations- does lesson evaluation and assessment inform future planning?  Ask student to talk about their profile child and share their assessments for this child.  Check student’s progress in relation to key Placement Tasks e.g. phonics A few reminders:
