The UCL NPQ is designed to ensure that a participant’s learning has an immediate impact on their current school practice. For this to happen, the role of the participant’s NPQ Mentor is essential in ensuring the participant is supported in their learning and the application of their learning in school.
The relationship between participant and NPQ Mentor is very much a collaborative one and has been designed to align to the typical cycle of line manager activity within a school. In this respect the programme has been designed to add as little additional workload as possible onto colleagues whilst maintaining the high professional standards we work within.
NPQ Mentors need to be credible leaders of learning, modelling, monitoring and communicating with colleagues, building trust and responding to individual needs.
Expectations:
Specialist Programmes: Three meetings over three terms for colleagues on NPQLT / NPQLTD / NPQLBC.
Leadership Programmes: Three meetings over four terms for colleagues on NPQSL / NPQH.
The UCL NPQ Handbook (which can be accessed on UCL Extend) outlines a suggested agenda for the meetings.
