Initial Teacher Training

We expect to provide school-led initial teacher training through School Direct (as a lead or partner), by offering placements working in partnership with a SCITT and achieved positive impact on trainee outcomes.  In addition, we drive improvement externally by ensuring newly-qualified teachers are recruited to schools in areas of need.

We:

• lead the development of school-led initial training through School Direct
• take an active role in the recruitment and selection of trainee teachers
• have a clear plan for teacher training, including:
  • access to outstanding lessons and teachers for observation and planning
  • mentoring
  • quality assurance
• co-ordination of initial teacher training and professional opportunities
