To ask Her Majesty’s Government what role accredited initial teacher training (ITT) providers and their representative bodies will have in developing national standards for ITT mentors in schools.
In the government response to the publication of the Carter Review, the Secretary of State for Education committed to commissioning the Teaching Schools Council to develop national standards for initial teacher training (ITT) mentors in schools.
