NQT Mentor Report Writing Support

NQT Mentor Report Writing Support

(0)
NQT Mentor Report Wrting Support This pack is an NQT mentor report writing support. It supports those who are mentoring an NQT through the induction period to write reports with reflect the teacher standards. I have mentored NQTs through induction over many years and would have found it really useful to have this resource as a guide. This resource includes: A structure for writing the report which can be copied and pasted into the Local Authority template A four page document with key questions and examples linked to each teacher standard which can be used to help write the report My experience mentoring NQTs has been in primary schools, so there will be some phrases that are more tailored to primary settings e.g. reference to the teacher’s class, rather than classes, but this would be easy to adapt to suit secondary NQTs. This is a guide rather than complete reports that can be copied and pasted. This is because NQT reports must be written about the individual teacher. However, it will certainly save time and give some valuable pointers to help you to write a report that is truly reflective of the teacher’s strengths and next steps.

Classroom Rules, Expectations and Procedures Editable PowerPoint

(0)
When it’s the first day or first week back, having classroom rules, expectations and procedures on a set of slides is helpful! Here they are already done and just ready for you to edit (all the slides have editable text). The perfect back to school rules, expectations and procedures slides to introduce to the class how you want your classroom to work. What’s included? 40 editable text PowerPoint slides including: Heading slides x4 to clearly mark the different parts of the slideshow - rules, expectations, procedures and extra information Rules slides x8 (5 rules, summary slide, rewards and consequences slides) Expectations slides x6 Procedures slides x14 Extra information messages slides x4 Also included are blank slides in the same theme to add your own information as required The slides have been given a rustic rainbow theme and there are 4 different page designs: there’s the heading slides and then three other page designs too, each with a different rustic rainbow image. All the text (including titles, headings and bullet point text) is editable. However, 40 slides have been populated with text already and can be used if they work for your class. If you want some ideas for rules, expectations and procedures, there is plenty of inspiration already on these slides. All that would need editing would be a few details that would need to be made appropriate for your school/year group/class. The rules that I have for my class are: Rule 1: Be kind Rule 2: Be prepared Rule 3: Be respectful Rule 4: Be responsible Rule 5: Be a role model I call these the 'Buzzy Be’e rules! There are also three worksheets included to use to help recap the rules, expectations and procedures. These can be used directly after the PowerPoint has been introduced, or later in the week to see what the children can remember. It might also be handy to use them when the class needs a bit of a reminder about their behaviour. Of course, you can change these to suit your class and own preferred style.
