What is the role of the School’s Professional Experience Co-ordinator?

The school’s professional experience co-ordinator will be principally involved in supporting mentor teachers who are supervising pre-service teachers who are on their final placement in the school.

Their role is very similar to that of the mentor teacher, and it is possible that the school’s professional experience co-ordinator might also participate in the moderation of school students’ work, as required in Element 3.

The school’s professional experience co-ordinator will be the school’s main point of contact with the university and will be well-placed to advise on how the mentor teacher’s report and the PST’s progress through the AfGT align with each other.
