Support for Mentor Teachers

Our mentor teachers have a number of support options available to them.

eLearning Advisors (eLAs):

eLAs are online tutors who work with our students to support their learning around the course content. They facilitate groups of around 20 – 30 students and will be the first point of contact for both you and your student. eLAs will email the Mentor Teacher before the placement period commences to support a quality placement experience. They assist by:

  • Offering support for the Mentor Teacher when required in addressing the placement assessment.
  • Being a point of contact for the education setting and Pre-service Teacher if problems arise during the placement.
  • Liaising with the Associate Director of Education to facilitate further action and support as required.
  • Providing support for the Mentor Teacher when a support plan has been raised.
