Early Career Mentors + 1 (Year 2)

ECM+1

At Danes Educational Trust and through the Bucks Hub Partnership, we recognise the vital role our Mentors play in providing one-to-one support, feedback, and coaching to our Early Career Teachers (ECTs) and trainees. As a Mentor, your role is to ensure that your ECT and/or ECT+1 receives a high-quality induction throughout their two-year programme. To support this, new Mentors engage in a two-year training programme delivered by the Ambition Institute. This programme is designed to ensure a full understanding of the Early Career Framework (ECF) and its practical implications in the classroom.

Important – Planning Ahead:
 When organising your calendar at the beginning of the academic year, if you are unable to attend a compulsory session (for example, due to a Parents' Evening), you must notify Claire Todd at ctodd@danesedtrust.org.uk by Monday 29 September 2025.
