  9. NQT EVENT NOVEMBER 2013

  10. Involving NQTs (and RQTs) in the course planning and management NQTs (and RQTs) are members of the Course Management Committee NQTs (and RQTs) invited to the Subject Coordinating groups NQTs are invited to present to trainees NQTs involved in the External Examiner programme NQTs involved in the Periodic Review Many former trainees are now subject mentors Built up case studies on our website of the progression of former trainees Filming of NQTs

  11. Problems we have encountered • Difficulty contacting both NQTs and induction tutors • More difficult with those schools that are not partnership schools • Sharing of information sometimes difficult –data protection • Not wanting to keep in touch • Poor attendance at evening events

  12. The Inspection Interviews with individual and/or groups of former-trainees Observed teaching of NQTs (4) and gave feedback Tracking progress of all NQTs using TRNs – data not shared openly Commented on NQT teaching in the report Commented on the discussions they had with NQTs No reference to the work we are doing with NQTs to monitor and support

  13. The Future? Send the CEDP information to schools? NQT conference Linking with the local TeachMeet? Offering a support package to schools? Contacting schools after their inspections to gather data Project with clusters of NQTs? Section 5 inspections will focus on NQT support from September 2015 Chartered Teacher Status? Putting pressure on OfSTED to share the section 5 data under the freedom of information act.
