School Direct Information Pack 2016/17 What is the Ealing Teaching School Alliance? Ealing Teaching School Alliance (ETSA) is an exciting and innovative collaboration striving to provide teaching excellence in the London Borough of Ealing. The Alliance comprises of 12 secondary schools and 1 primary school, and is in partnership with London’s Institute of Education, St Mary’s University and Goldsmiths. ETSA has a fantastic reputation for its well-established training programmes and its excellent track-record of induction. ETSA’s commitment to ensuring that all trainees, regardless of subject or route, are able to benefit from the experience and expertise of the very best practitioners makes it an excellent place to train and procure employment once qualified. For the past two years, 100% of ETSA trainees have secured their first qualified teacher role within the Alliance upon completion of their training year. Why train with us? All schools in ETSA are highly supportive and inspirational environments where you will develop the necessary skills and acquire a true appreciation of the practice essential for outstanding teaching and learning. You will learn your craft in a safe environment which allows you to experiment with teaching styles, strategies and ideas. Your training will be delivered by expert teachers within the school. You will participate in weekly professional development sessions and you will also attend Alliance-wide “Golden Day” training events along with fellow ETSA trainees. Your school-led training will be complemented by attendance at the Institution of Education, Goldsmiths or St Mary’s. You will be assigned an experienced mentor from within your subject area at your main placement school who will support you in your development over the course of what will be a challenging and rewarding year. All mentors are excellent teachers who are well-trained in mentoring, coaching, lesson observations and feedback skills. You will also work closely with a member of the Senior Leadership team who will oversee a great deal of your training and will provide an invaluable perspective on your role as a teacher and the wider issues of education leadership. As well as your main training placement, you will complete a six-week placement in a contrasting context within ETSA; this will afford you the opportunity to experience working with different students, within different structures and with a wider range of colleagues.
