Lots of discussion about NQTs about today.
In my opinion, this last term is where many students come into their own - everything starts to fall into place a little more and becomes easier. It means that they feel ready for taking on a classroom alone the following September. 1/

Myself and my Teach First trainee spent her whole review saying & #39;If we had had 6 more weeks, this would have been nailed.& #39; It was really sad to think she didn& #39;t get those last few weeks to see her hard work pay off and it all come together. That being said... 2/
... she has also experienced something in her FIRST YEAR that has shook the profession to its core & seen the resilience, motivation and LOVE for the job that has been shown in the last few months. She& #39;s also risen to the challenge; working well with key worker bubbles and... 3/
... creating innovative tasks for students to do & #39;maths at home& #39; and helped plan for next year.
So yes, her classroom experience was cut short. But I don& #39;t think this makes her any less QUALIFIED. She knows her role as a teacher is more than just her delivering maths lessons. 4/

It DOES mean that she has less experience of the & #39;traditional& #39; classroom set up. But as a school we are working on a programme for our NQTs and RQTs that means they they will have extra suport next year; making sure they have a good mentor, a good spread of CPD available...5/
... and chances to see brilliant teaching, to learn from it. Being honest, having your own classes for the first time is daunting, even if you have the & #39;full& #39; ITT year.
This has just given us the chance to boost our provision, and in some ways think about the ECF early. 6/
