These sessions are designed specifically for Mentor teachers (Pou Tautoko), Provisional teachers, and Pia. The programme is flexible, meaning you can access any aspect of the support in any order, regardless of whether you have attended previous sessions.


While the workshops are free to attend and include catering, schools will need to manage their own travel and release costs.
