Mentor Support for Provisionally Certificated Teachers and Overseas Trained Teachers (ref # MOE23520)

The Ministry seeks one or more suppliers to support mentors, beginning teachers | kaiako (including early learning beginning teachers) and overseas trained teachers, by establishing a foundation on which to launch a long-lasting teaching career. The intent of the new programme is to support mentors to support teachers | kaiako by providing a coherent package of voluntary support for English, Māori medium, Kaupapa Māori, and early learning settings. While voluntary, this service can support a teacher’s | kaiako professional growth cycle.
The purpose of this work is to cultivate and support a resilient education workforce. The supports we seek include:
• Development of mentoring guidelines and induction pathways
• Establishment of guided workshops and accompanying material
• Development of Self-directed resources and
• Facilitation materials, including evaluative mechanism to measure impact.
