  • Structure mentoring conversations at the start of term.
  • Prompt reflection and goal-setting for new teachers.
  • Identify areas where extra support, resources, or modelling may be needed.
  • Revisit throughout the term to review progress and adapt strategies.
  • Encourage new teachers to use the checklist not just for preparation, but as an ongoing guide to building effective teaching habits.
