The mentors will be assigned to the students once they have registered. The mentors will meet with their mentees and when needed, offer advice on how to put together the teaching portfolio. All mentors are trained so they are very familiar with the PSF 2023 and how to interpret the D1. The mentor will support you in putting your teaching portfolio together and ensure that your portfolio shows effectiveness of practice through:

D1.1:         use of appropriate Professional Values, including at least V1 and V3

D1.2:         application of appropriate Core Knowledge, including at least K1, K2 and K3

D1.3:         effective and inclusive practice in two out of the following Areas of Activity – A1, A2 and A4.
