The document summarizes a project between 6 schools to integrate initial teacher training into schools' performance management frameworks. The schools agreed to use training teachers as a performance management objective and trained staff to be mentors. Teachers found value in collaborating with other schools and reflecting on their mentoring practices. As a result, more mentors were trained, trainee teachers received better support, and standards were believed to have improved. The partnership produced guidance and aims to encourage other schools to increase teacher placements to further support professional development.
