  12. Role of the Cluster Leader • A cluster of schools is a geographical group of partnership schools in which the students are on school placement and thus the Cluster Leader is: • The main point of contact between the partnership schools in a specific area and the university. • The main point of contact between the link tutors within the cluster and the university via the PDU during the period of sustained school experience. • Responsible for coordinating and running the mentor training programme in the cluster of schools.

  13. Developing an Individualised Training Programme • An example of a generic Training Programme for FSE/DSE can be found on p67 (foundation phase) and p73 (development phase) of the handbook. This document should be individualised by taking into account: • trainees’ individual starting points and needs, as identified in previous paperwork, with particular reference to enhancing the quality of teaching in the core subjects and ICT • the routines and timetables of the school and class in which the trainee is working

  14. Developing the individualised Training Programme - continued Devising a programme which meets the trainee’s needs. Possible components: • observing other teachers • observing children’s learning • focused interviews with teachers / school personnel • data collection for assignments • team planning, teaching and assessing, followed by discussion • solo planning, teaching and assessing, followed by de-briefing • space for self-evaluation and target setting • formal target setting, formative and summative assessment processes

  15. Feedback and formative assessment issues • Encouraging self review and evaluation in your trainee • Engaging in constructive evaluation • Telling the trainee how to teach / what to do • Providing information and knowledge • Affirming worth and positive features • Recognising and dealing with feelings • Assertively challenging actions and ideas • Promoting independent development

  16. Monitoring trainee progress: formal and informal processes Monitoring draws on: • Formal observation skills – seeing the snapshots of lessons • Informal observations and professional inter-actions • Monitoring the development of trainee files How is the monitoring recorded?
