Report on NEST progress, including finance, outputs and results.

The project’s theory of change describes the interplay between the intended NEST intervention, the mentor outcomes (attributes and competencies), mentoring practices, teacher outcomes and the project’s desired impact on teacher motivation, job satisfaction, effectiveness and retention.

The toolbox of good practices includes a selection of mentoring strategies, resources for use with teachers, and case studies of effective mentoring interventions with novice teachers in disadvantaged schools.

The NEST mentoring framework comprises two major elements: A theory of mentorship and a profile of an effective mentor. Both will be tailored to the context of supporting teachers and student learning in disadvantaged schools.

The NEST core curriculum includes the scope and sequence of mentor learning covered by the NEST intervention. The curriculum gives a structured overview of learning objectives and content, which are aligned with both the NEST mentoring approach and the desired mentor learning.
