Why we created Mosaic
“We created Mosaic because we saw too many teacher education providers relying on generic technology that didn’t reflect the realities of teacher education. We asked ourselves what a platform purpose-built for teacher education would look like, and then set out to make it a reality.”

Co-Founder, Mosaic by Penrose Education

“We deliver ITE across multiple routes, and as our provision grew it became clear that our systems could no longer provide the programme coherence or placement oversight we needed.
Implementing Mosaic has brought structured mentor engagement, student teacher progress tracking and quality assurance oversight into a single platform.”
