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.
