Mentoring
Welcome to Mentoring at ϳԹ. The requirements of the ITT Criteria 2025/2026 state that “all mentors should have a clear understanding of their role and the skills required to undertake it” (p.29). Mentors should also be familiar with the ITTECF, the ITT curriculum and the evidence that underpins them.
At ϳԹ we have therefore designed a CPD mentor training package that all mentors can access to support their discussions and professional working relationship with ϳԹ Associate Teachers. Our training enables schools to claim for actual hours with an accredited provider; up to 16 hours for initial training and six for refresher training. At ϳԹ our high quality CPD mentoringis delivered by Brightspace, School Mentor Briefings and supportive documentation.

Brightspace
Brightspace is ϳԹ’s enhanced mentoring CPD training platform. Placement Mentors will each receive a personalised login to access Brightspace.
Placement mentors will need to complete the registration via the registration link. Once this has been completed, ϳԹ administrators will create a personal Brightspace account using your preferred name and email and email you directly once registered. Once registered, the mentor will be able to access the relevant training based on accredited prior learning (APL) evidence.
