Teaching is a challenging and rewarding career. Outstanding teaching changes lives. Our programmes for ITT recognise the importance of expert support that continues through the first years in the profession.
The strategic partners within the alliance have an excellent track record of working with trainees through Teach Direct and local universities. Our mentors have a wide range of expertise from primary to the post 16 phase. Working alongside outstanding teachers, trainees will be able to gain valuable insight into outstanding classroom practice.
We aim to:
- Support an increase in the number of talented people joining the teaching profession.
- Develop the support we provide during initial teacher training, for newly qualified teachers and recently qualified teachers, to support retention and talent management.
