The National Mentor Standards for School-based Mentors

The National Mentor Standards for school-based ITE mentors were introduced in July 2016 as a result of the Carter Review. Providers of ITE in the West London area have collaborated to produce a framework of materials to further enhance the development of high quality mentors. These standards are: Personal Qualities; Teaching; Professionalism; Self-development and working in partnership. The framework supports certification and materials at two levels: Entry and Mastery. Further details can be found below and for any further queries, please contact Sunita Babbar at sunita.babbar@brunel.ac.uk
