Reflections on Short Placements

Picture

​With our trainees settling into their long placement schools, we asked them and their mentors to reflect on the successful completion of their short placements.

Trainees
'The Department and whole school were supportive. The mentor and I met frequently, other staff were aware of my requirements and  gave valuable feedback. Lots of extra-curricular opportunities. Supportive and happy environment.'

'I had a strong relationship with my class and mentor. Felt a valued member of the class, school were supportive and kind.'


'I Improved my confidence through praise, advice and high level of support.'

School Mentors
'Strong trainee who worked hard, noted and worked on feedback.  They were really well organised and had a lovely, calm demeanour in the classroom, which students responded well to.'

'The instructional coaching strategy was a valuable tool as it allowed us to practise core teaching moments.'

'The mentoring / coaching conversations we had were very constructive and encouraged the trainee to actively consider their mental models and what specific steps made them successful in their task.'
