 SSDN / GLOW - Mentors

Who are we looking for to become trainers?
 
Classroom practitioners who are committed to and enthusiastic about the use and development of web-based resources.  They will be expected to have a reasonable level of ICT skills but the main qualities would be to be good communicators, effective organisers and able to deliver and support professional development opportunities for other staff.  It is therefore important that they have credibility as trainers within the school.

What training do I get?

There will be a two day training session at Stirling management centre in Spring 2007 and a further day in Autumn 2007. Online training modules, support from the national team and support from the local authority will be available.  

What resources will be provided?

While you are a mentor you will have the use of a laptop and webcam to support the delivery of training. You will also receive training materials from the national SSDN team.

Where will I deliver training?

Within an establishment in your ASG if there are adequate training facilities or at Summerhill Centre. (Some mentors may be required to deliver training to other ASGs.)

When will I deliver the training?

The first round of training sessions should begin in the Autumn term 2007.  Individual schools will decide on the best times to deliver the training within the overall timescale.  Some may decide to identify Twilight sessions while others may use INSET days.

Who will attend the training?

You will train SSDN School mentors from your ASG who will then cascade training to colleagues in their own schools. 

What cover will be provided?

All your cover time for attending and delivering courses will be provided.  Travelling expenses will also be paid.
