Brightspace - viewing ECT submissions
As part of the Year 1 weekly self-directed study sessions, ECTs are asked to complete a reflective activity related to their teaching practice. They then make this visible to their mentor on Brightspace ahead of their weekly meeting.
Mentors are encouraged to review the submission in advance of the weekly meeting and may choose to use it as a discussion prompt - particularly in weeks where no observation has taken place.
To support mentors in accessing these submissions, a guidance video can be found in two places:
- A short instructional video located in the Welcome section of their course.
- An announcement banner displayed across the top of your their homepage.
The guidance explains that mentors must first navigate to their ECT’s course and then use the ‘Audit user’ function to view the submission.
If mentors have questions about this process, Teach First has created two step-by-step slides - please see below.
