ITT - INFORMATION FOR SCHOOLS
Schools play a vital role in ITT, by hosting placements and providing mentors for trainee teachersÂ
As part of their ITT course, every trainee teacher must get experience teaching in at least two schools and receive clear and consistent mentoring during each placement.
Trainee teachers need a variety of experience in schools to enable them to meet all the Teachers’ Standards. They need to teach children and young people in their specified age range, from different backgrounds, as well as gaining experience of different approaches to teaching and to school organisation and management.
This breadth of experience is designed to equip trainee teachers with the skills they need to successfully enter the teaching workforce, and to become an asset to the schools they teach in.
Trainees are assessed against the Teachers’ Standards at the end of their course. Trainees who demonstrate all the standards at the appropriate level are recommended for QTS |
ITT is intended to support and benefit everyone
Teacher training is not possible without school placements.We know that many schools view supporting the training of the next generation of teachers as part of their professional purpose. As well as supporting their own school recruitment needs, by providing school placements, schools enable the pipeline of new teachers to the profession. |
