Apart from one-off CPD sessions, is there scope for some team-teaching?6) Add observations into the training programme7) Assign them a mentor and make the expectations clear to the mentor8) Write a Monitoring and Evaluation schedule to ensure that your NQT has everything they need to succeed9) Calendar the termly forms so that these dates are not missed10) Calendar check-ins to see how your NQT(s) is getting on
