  9. The school – based MTL coach • The role of the school based coach is fundamental to the success of the MTL • It is anticipated that Phase 1 MTL coach will be the induction tutor but it is the school’s decision who has the ideal skill set for this role • Training for the coaches is being designed by the HEIs in consultation with the TDA and LAs and Phase I coaches will receive this training in the spring term • The HEI tutor(s) will work with the school to agree the most effective way of supporting the MTL student • In many cases the Phase 1 MTL coach will continue to be the Phase 2 and 3 coach, but this will be the decision of the coach and school. Guidance on the options available will be published soon
