Welcome to Cabot Learning Federation Initial Teacher Training programme 2016-17 CLF – Training teachers Principles of school-centred ITT • Leads to the best outcomes for all learners • Is an integral part of school improvement strategy and professional capacity building • Provides training programmes that can be tailored to individual trainees • Is delivered by a partnership of schools and professionals, geared towards the needs of all learners within the partnership • Ensures that trainees and NQTs are as effective as possible in their school settings • Reflects local and regional needs, within a framework of national priorities, requirements and standards • Is an integrated part of ongoing professional development, from ITT through NQT, early career and continuing professional and leadership development • Takes account of and engages in research that is relevant and tailored towards the circumstances of the schools and learners in the partnership, including effective evaluation activity that enables teachers to test, learn and develop their practice and add to the body of professional knowledge CLF Institute Challenges for school-led ITT, in particular in the SW • Recruitment, especially of highly qualified and suitable applicants and in our shortage subject areas; • Increasing diversity of entrants to teacher training, and ensuring successful outcomes and progression into teaching; • Supporting our trainees to gain experience whilst training, in our most challenging schools and with our most disadvantaged pupils – and to be prepared and confident to take up posts in these schools which most need to recruit strong new teachers; • Providing sufficient ongoing EPD/CPD to ensure they stay and are successful. Cabot Learning Federation Carter review of initial teacher training (ITT), Sir Andrew Carter OBE, January 2015 Annex: The beginnings of a framework for ITT content (p70-71) • Subject knowledge development – ITT should address core content knowledge in teaching subjects with appropriate rigour, including the definition and scope of the subject, why it matters and the concepts that underpin it (at both primary and secondary level). • Subject-specific pedagogy – ITT should address subject-specific issues such as: phases of progression within the subject; common misconceptions in the subject; linkages between subjects; and, most importantly, how to make it accessible and meaningful to learners at different abilities and stages of development. • Evidence-based teaching – ITT should instil an evidence-based approach to teaching by inducting new teachers in where and how to access relevant research, how to evaluate and challenge research findings, how this can be applied to classroom practice, as well as why using research matters. • Child and adolescent development – ITT should provide new teachers with a grounding in child and adolescent development, including emotional and social development, which will underpin their understanding of other issues such as pedagogy, assessment, behaviour, mental health and SEND. ITT should also introduce new teachers to strategies for character education and supporting pupil wellbeing. Cabot Learning Federation • Behaviour Management – This should be a central element in any ITT programme, equipping new teachers with practical strategies and knowledge to deal with pupil behaviour effectively and create a positive climate for learning. • Planning – This is a central element of any effective ITT programme, which should equip trainees to plan effectively from day one, teaching them evidence-based and established techniques in planning and how to plan efficiently by using and building on existing resources. • Assessment – ITT should equip new teachers to be confident in assessing pupil progress, using summative as well as formative approaches. ITT should also introduce new teachers to important concepts in assessment (such as validity, reliability, norm referencing and criterion referencing). New teachers should be taught how to work with pupil data (for example, using data in their planning or target setting). • Differentiation – ITT should equip teachers so they can ensure that all pupils in the class, including lower and higher achievers, should make progress and keep pace with the curriculum. • Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) – ITT should prepare all new teachers to support SEND in their classrooms, providing a solid grounding in the most pertinent issues and setting an expectation for on- going high quality professional development. • Professionalism – As implied by the Teachers’ Standards, ITT should cover the professional role of the teacher explicitly, covering the wider responsibilities of a teacher, including important issues such as working with parents and carers as well as other professionals. We believe it is also important that ITT includes explicit content on resilience and time management.
