Streamline and strengthen your ITT delivery with one connected platform
Seamlessly connect centre-based training and school placements while saving mentors’ time and keeping everything organised in one secure place.
Running a SCITT means balancing limited time, distributed placements and the need for consistent, high-quality training. IRIS Connect brings everything together – mentoring, reflection, feedback and progress tracking – in one secure, easy-to-manage platform that saves time and enhances support for every trainee.
Why SCITTs choose IRIS Connect
Make ITT simpler, more consistent and more effective
Reduce admin and travel by centralising mentoring, reflection, and feedback.
Give mentors the tools to save time while providing richer support.
Ensure every trainee receives consistent, high-quality training across placements.
Gain clear visibility of trainee progress and programme quality – all in one place.
Ensure consistent training and support
Unify centre- and school-based training through adaptive Pathways on IRIS Connect. These sequenced frameworks with shared online spaces keep everyone aligned, ensuring that every trainee receives consistent mentoring and guidance across placements.
Mentors can access a library of CCF-aligned teaching techniques, integrate resources such as Teaching WalkThrus, or upload their own examples to personalise support and reflect your programme’s approach.
Achieve shared visibility of progress
Bring tutors, mentors and central staff together on one platform. IRIS Connect provides a clear, shared view of each trainee’s development, with all evidence, reflection and feedback securely stored in one place.
Dashboards show progress at a glance, portfolios can be shared instantly, and linked objectives keep everyone focused on the next step forward.
Save time for tutors and mentors
Mentors can replace many in-person visits with video observations that can be reviewed anytime. With AI Insights, feedback becomes focused and precise, driving richer coaching conversations.
Subject tutors can reuse strong video examples and activities, reducing preparation time while improving the quality of feedback and reflection.
Reduce travel and cut costs
Because lessons, observations and feedback can be shared online, central teams and mentors don’t need to travel between schools as often. This lowers costs and makes it easier to provide regular, high-quality support to every trainee.
Help trainees build adaptive expertise
Watching and analysing their own lessons helps trainees deepen self-awareness and take ownership of their growth. They develop the reflective habits and adaptive expertise needed to thrive as confident, capable teachers.

“Initially I saw IRIS Connect as a way for trainees to be able to see their own delivery and reflect. I did not realise the full scope of the platform. What I love most is the organisation of it! Everything is together, easy to review, revisit and for trainees to track their progress.”
