CT4M Professional Knowledge Examinations (Mentor)
Suitable for: School-based mentors (classroom teachers and middle leaders may opt to undertake the CT4 Professional Knowledge Examinations and school leaders may opt to undertake the CT4L Professional Knowledge Examinations (Leadership) instead).
The Professional Knowledge Examinations are for school-based mentors working towards Chartered Teacher (Mentor) Status. This unit provides access to the three examinations that form part of the Chartered Teacher (Mentor) pathway and have been designed to assess your professional knowledge across key areas of evidence-informed practice.
The three examinations are:
- Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) Examination: Multiple Choice Question Exam: This examination consists of 30 multiple choice questions designed to assess your knowledge of evidence-informed teaching, learning, curriculum and assessment.
- Objective Structured Teaching Exercise (OSTE): This is a scenario-based examination, designed to assess your knowledge of formative assessment. In the examination, you will respond to a simulated teaching scenario and demonstrate how you would support a teacher in developing a specific aspect of their teaching practice.
- Written Examination: The written examination is designed to assess your knowledge of effective mentoring approaches within the context of your subject, phase or specialism. You will choose from one of four possible themes and answer a series of questions to demonstrate how your chosen theme applies within your subject, phase or specialism.
This flexible unit can be undertaken at any point during the school year and can be completed alongside other Chartered Teacher (Mentor) units or fit around your existing professional learning. You can choose to spread the examinations across the year, for example by completing one each half term, or take all three within a shorter period, depending on what works best for you.
All examinations are completed online, allowing you to choose a date and time that suits you. Each examination takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.
Exam access arrangements are available for individuals who require reasonable adjustments. You’ll find more information about this on the course.
