Throughout the probationary period Trainee Tutors will be monitored and provided with regular and ongoing feedback regarding performance and progress. Specific targets will be set according to areas that have been identified for development. Progress against these targets will be measured at regular intervals by Class Leaders/Lead Tutors.
During the first two weeks, Trainee Tutors will receive two or three overlaps with either their Class leader or Lead Tutor in the class. These are opportunities for the staff team to explain and demonstrate specific aspects of a pupil's programme, teaching procedures or behaviour management plan as well as to observe the Trainee Tutor teaching, provide appropriate feedback and respond to any questions.
Over the next four weeks, Trainee Tutors can expect to have at least one overlap a week, with their Class Leader or Lead Tutor.
At this stage, Trainee Tutors will be expected to concentrate on getting to know the individual pupils and implementing the basic principles of ABA in their teaching, i.e. using reinforcement and prompting effectively and creating opportunities for language.
At the end of the second month, Trainee Tutors will meet with their Class Leaders for a review of their progress. The purpose of this is to find out how the Trainee Tutor is finding the job, identify areas they may require help with and decide on a small number of objectives for them to focus on over the following two months.
Over the next two months, Trainee Tutors will work 1:1 with the pupils as per the class rota. They will be expected to become more proficient with the basic teaching procedures at this stage and start to implement the full range of teaching targ
