University of Derby
- We have a well-established partnership with the University of Derby enabling us to provide a well-balanced course of both academic development and practical teaching application.
- We will ensure that each trainee is allocated an excellent mentor in their school to enable them to enhance their class teaching skills and knowledge on a graduated training programme. Our mentors attend regular network/training meetings (led by DTSA) to ensure they keep their skills up to date and for them to share good practices. Your relationship with your mentor is key and we carefully monitor the quality of mentoring by including taking feedback from trainees on the programme.
- We encourage all our trainees to support each other – sharing ideas and experiences throughout the programme.
