We are delighted to assume our role as Associate College for the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT), delivering programmes across the region to support ongoing teacher development. We are keen to ensure that our programmes capture, exemplify and share the lived experience of teachers and leaders, and a significant strength of this partnership with NIoT will be providing the opportunity for participants to build and share knowledge in a way that is respectful to their time, and above all, develops them as teachers and leaders to effectively serve the pupils in their schools. We enjoy working with NIoT as part of the network of Associate Colleges to ensure teacher development sits at the heart of education in the East Midlands.

 

As part of our partnership with NIoT we will be working together to offer a full package of professional development including the following:

Initial Teacher Tranining

NIoT’s initial teacher training is a fully immersive school-centred programme – aspiring teachers will be in the classroom from the very start. But full immersion does not mean that you will be thrown in the deep end: our trainees are mentored and have central training once a week.

National Professional Qualifications

Our suite of NPQs are built on leading research and grounded in best practice: what we have learnt works well in schools. Our programmes are developed by people who know what teachers need: designed with school life in mind, they are respectful of your precious time. We also work to develop our own research to ensure our programmes will have maximum impact.

Early Career Teacher Programme

The Early Career Teacher programme ensures that new teachers are given the expert support they need to become confident, capable classroom practitioners. We work as a delivery partner for the National Institute of Teaching to deliver flexible training and relevant support, to help teachers succeed right from the start.

 

 

We are delighted to partner with the National Society for Education as part of the Church of England and Chirch in Wales. They are focused on building a culture of teacher excellence at middle, senior and executive leadership levels.
