Description
This course is designed for Mentors of Early Career Teachers (ECT) enrolled in AISWA's Early Career Teacher's program.
This one-day course provides the information and requirements for in-school mentors as they assist their early career teaching colleagues to move from the graduate to proficient standard of the Australian Professional Teacher Standards.

The Landscape Early Career Teachers are navigating
Effective Induction Programs - what ECT's need to know
