Beginning Teacher

and Mentor Teacher Programme

Project Leads

ASLs - Rose Martin and Sarah Rowe

About this collab

We want to support beginning teachers in ECE, Primary and Secondary teachers in our Kahui Ako, by bringing them together and helping them build a professional and social network. We’ll give opportunities to connect with other beginning teachers, share stories and ideas, and talk through problems and solutions.


We also aim to source some solid and practical PD for Beginning Teachers – sessions that should help them prepare for full registration and improve their teaching practice. Mentor teachers will also have the opportunity to learn more about how to support BTs.

SchoolTalk

About this collab

We are implementing SchoolTalk across our Kahui Ako to:

  • Increase efficiency
  • Improve effectiveness
  • Develop learner agency
  • Promote collaboration
  • Improve home-school partnerships


Each school will have a SchoolTalk Lead and a group of pilot teachers to begin, then SchoolTalk will spread throughout the learning centre. We will be working with ECE to develop SchoolTalk as a resource during 2024.
