It is your first term as a teacher and you are discovering that your new role can be both confusing and bewildering. You need help from people already working in school if you are going to get through those early weeks.
Most schools recognise that NQTs have a lot to learn and should allocate mentors to their NQTs to help them during that difficult first year.
It is important for you to build a good working relationship with your mentor quickly. Your mentor is an experienced teacher who also knows how your school operates.
He or she can help you to avoid making many of the mistakes that you would probably make if you had to work out for yourself how everything works. Help yourself to succeed faster by making the most of the support your mentor can offer.
