Support for Schools & Mentors

Supporting Your Teacher Throughout the Journey

Your support is pivotal in helping teachers achieve their International Qualified Teacher Status (iQTS). This qualification not only enhances their professional skills but also brings tremendous value to your school. To ensure the success of your teachers, your school will need to support in the following key areas:

  • Professional Development Time: Ensure teachers have enough time during the school week for iQTS studies and assignments, and arrange class cover when needed for training or assessments.
  • Mentorship and Guidance: You’ll need to assign an appropriate mentor to support teachers through the iQTS, offering feedback and practical advice. Mentors receive FREE certified training and CPD from Orange Moon Training throughout the programme.
  • Practical Experience: Teachers need diverse classroom experiences, teaching different subjects and age groups, and observing peers. Some may also need to complete placements at other schools.

Schools that participate in the programme will receive an official certificate of collaboration, recognising their commitment to improving teaching standards.
