Chartered College launches new chartered pathway for mentors
7 February 2023
Dame Alison Peacock, CEO of the Chartered College of Teaching, said:
“To become an expert, engaging with research and understanding how to use it in the classroom, teachers need knowledgeable and skilled colleagues who can provide support. School-based mentors have an essential part to play in the development and retention of high quality teachers. This new path to our sought-after Chartered Status, developed with mentors themselves, will help to ensure that expert teaching is at the heart of our profession.“
