The Role of the Line Manager

Effective learning experiences arise when teachers are supported by respected colleagues.

The relationship between participant and Line-Manage / Mentor is very much a collaborative one and has been designed to align to the typical cycle of line manager activity within a school. In this respect the programme has been designed to add as little additional workload as possible onto colleagues whilst maintaining the high professional standards we work within.

Line Managers / Mentors need to be credible leaders of learning, modelling, monitoring and communicating with colleagues, building trust and responding to individual needs.

Expectations:

Specialist Programmes: Three meetings over three terms for colleagues on NPQLT / NPQLTD / NPQLBC.

Leadership Programmes: Four meetings over four terms for colleagues on NPQSL / NPQH.

Handbook outlines a suggested agenda for the meetings.

• Contracting
• Check-in

Some minor administration activity in partnership with your local delivery partner.
