All events will be on Jubilee Campus. Registration is from 4.30pm and each session will run from 5-7pm. You will receive an email invitation prior to the event asking you to confirm your attendance.
Please note, in the past we have asked that ITE Coordinators also attend mentor development. However, as we now have bespoke coordinator network events, there will be no requirement to do so unless ITE Coordinators are actively mentoring a beginning teacher for the placement in addition to their coordinator role.
Summer term
The ITE Summer Conference will be a face-to-face, twilight event open to all staff in our primary and secondary partnership schools. The event will finish with light refreshments and an opportunity to network from 6.30pm.
