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
