Induction and Cpd Support Programme

Newly Qualified Teacher

INDUCTION AND CPD SUPPORT PROGRAMME

Secondary, Primary & Special

2017 – 2018

As well as running a very successful CPD programme for NQTs,

Forest Way Teaching School Alliance is also accredited as an

APPROPRIATE BODY for the professional induction of NQTs.

FWTSA is building on its highly successful professional development programmes for all phases of education, by adopting the role of Appropriate Body for the Induction of NQTs. This full package supports NQTs in developing the skills to be effective teachers and also monitor their progress against the Teacher Standards.

This will be led by high calibre senior leaders with a proven track record of excellent NQT development and support.

All NQTs have a statutory entitlement to a well structured, monitored and supportive Induction year. This provides the transition between Initial Teacher Training and a full career in teaching.

We also offer a Recently Qualified Teacher programme for those in the second or third year of their career or those returning to teaching after a gap. (Please see separate flyer)

FWTSA is offering to all schools in the Alliance:

·  An Induction Package as Appropriate Body

·  A One Day Conference on September 20th 2017 at Beaumanor hall.

·  A Professional Development programme – 5 training sessions over the year held at Forest Way School

·  Additional Support – if required

NQT Induction and Support programme

As an Alliance we want the teachers who are starting their careers with us to be well supported and be able to develop into highly effective teachers. Together with schools we can put the structure for this into place.

In return NQTs have a responsibility to adopt a professional, reflective and self-evaluative manner and approach to their work.

We believe that the full package we offer can ensure that the outcomes for our newest teachers will be fulfilling both for them, their schools and the young people in their care.

NQT INDUCTION PACKAGE:

·  Register the NQT with FWTSA & the Teaching Agency and provide a named contact.

·  Mentor training at the start of the year and a mid year update

·  Monitor the progress of the NQT including a paired observation visit in a selection of schools

·  Make the final decision on the outcome of statutory induction for NQTs, in liaison with the Headteacher / Principal, and notify the Teaching Agency.

·  Maintain records and assessment reports and follow up with schools as necessary.

·  All assessment forms and an NQT handbook

·  Quality Assurance of termly and final assessment forms

·  Support schools if there is a concern regarding an NQT’s progress against the Teacher standards.
