6 Induction of Trainees  Expectations set – time-keeping, dress, behaviour etc. Professionalism  Procedures – staff briefing, photocopying, contacting parents, safeguarding etc.  Arrange opportunities to see a range of other departments at work.  Arrange opportunities to see examples of good practice in teaching and learning.  Support SMs in the use of review docs to create a gradualised timetable.  Ensure trainees’ are able to work with the department and observe the classes they will have on their timetable.  Ensure SMs are aware of trainee entitlement and have read their handbooks. MMU PM training 2015-2016 6

7 SM Files  Ensure that all mentors keep files that monitor trainee progression and support given.  Monitor the files during the placement to ensure that the trainee entitlement is being met (weekly mentor meeting, weekly observation with formal written feedback) and address any issues.  Work with your team of mentors to develop their practice. MMU PM training 2015-2016 7

8 Timetable Creation  Ensure that all SMs have seen a copy of their trainee’s SK Audit.  Ensure that all SMs have seen a copy of Reviews completed to date.  Support SMs in using these documents as the basis for a conversation with their trainee about the timetable.  Ensure you and the SM are aware of the need for a gradualised timetable which addresses gaps in Subject Knowledge and which develops skills and knowledge associated with the teacher standards.  The Block/Placement A (Part 1) timetable (50% of 4 days). The Block/Placement B/Placement A (Part 2) timetable (60% of 5 days). MMU PM training 2015-2016 8

9 Professional Practice/ Issues Sessions  All trainees have an entitlement to participation in a weekly, school based Professional Issues session.  Ideas for sessions can be found on the Partnership pages of the faculty website as can an outline of University based Professional Practice sessions.  Arrange key specialists to lead sessions – you may want to lead some, but your lead role is to organise.  Provide a timetable of sessions in advance, remind trainees and follow up on absentee trainees.  Quality assure sessions – use this to adapt future sessions and ensure relevance. MMU PM training 2015-2016 9

10 PM Observations  All trainees must be observed formally by their PM at least once during the Block/Placement A placement and at least once during Block B.  The observation should be joint (with either SM or UT) to ensure moderation of outcomes.  Formal written feedback and verbal feedback should be given as early as possible and discussed with both trainee and SM.  Use of agreed lesson observation proforma and Progress Indicator document MMU PM training 2015-2016 10

11 Review 2b and 5b Review 2b is completed at the end point of the first placement which involves:  Acknowledgement of achievements to date (the Standards). Must be evidence based.  Setting of targets for Block/Placement B. Review 5b is completed at the end of the final placement.  Acknowledges the completion of the achievements against the Standards. Must be evidence based.  Documentation should be signed and returned to secondary.placements@mmu.ac.uk (core) or schooldirect@mmu.ac.uk ( SD) secondary.placements@mmu.ac.uk schooldirect@mmu.ac.uk MMU PM training 2015-2016 11

12 Ofsted Grading of Trainees on reviews All PMs must use the agreed Progress Indicator grading document (on Faculty website) for this process. The grade should not be based on a one-off observation, but should reflect their overall performance to date during the Placement B/A2 or Block B placement. It is a moving target grade. The grades should be awarded having liaised with the trainee, SM, UT and having observed the trainee teach and seen their School Experience Files (SEF) and Record of Professional Development ( RPD) MMU PM training 2015-2016 12

13 On-going Considerations  How will you manage your time / workload most effectively?  Try to balance time between trainees and SM team.  Read the handbook and familiarise yourself with it – in particular make yourself aware of timescales and deadlines.  Remediation – ensure you know the procedures – they need to be followed exactly and it is easier to familiarise yourself with it early on.  Ensure that you attend read Partnership Mailings, Cluster Meetings and Partnership events – this will allow you to share good practice, keep up to date with Partnership developments and will allow you to meet other PMs and gain from their knowledge and experience.
