PCT teachers in our rohe connect together through PCT days, about 3 times a year. At these, a variety of content is covered such as:
Support in documentation, gathering evidence and getting registered.
Professional development targetted to the group and their needs.
School visits, covering a range of year levels and right from ECE to secondary, again to suit the specific group of kaiako.
There is also 1:1 support on offer, as required, for PCTs and also their mentor teachers.
Gerard Joyce, of Levin Intermediate, is the lead for the PCT network.
Get in touch with him for any support in this space: gerard.joyce@lis.school.nz
The following are resources that will be useful to PCTs and their mentors to ensure that they are on track to meet the standards of the Aotearoa Teacher’s Council and to support mentors with creating an induction and mentoring programme.
