CPD 1 & 2 is designed to enable you to support your Teach First trainee in their first year in school. The morning session will be run by Teach First and the afternoon by Birmingham City University (BCU). The whole day will offer you comprehensive training in mentoring, including how to develop the subject knowledge of trainees and support in accessing key platforms to support the tracking and monitoring of the trainee’s development.

There will be a core session at the start of the morning followed by three break-out sessions for you to opt into. BCU will then deliver the afternoon session.

You will need to select one of the breakdown sessions below to attend. You can choose this by clicking 'Register' and selecting your breakout session. By registering for the breakout session, you will have registered for the full event.

Breakout 2: The feedback model
This session is aimed at new mentors to Teach First and those who feel they need further support in using our feedback model and developing their use of Deliberate Practice.

Breakout 3: Using TLAC techniques to accelerate trainee progress
