Meet, network and training for NQT’s
“Initial education cannot provide teachers with the knowledge and skills necessary for a lifetime of teaching” (1).
Let’s build on the progress made during Initial Teacher Training and shape our teachers for their career. Thus, creating a real impact on our schools.
The NQT induction year is challenging. Let us help you to ensure you are fully supported throughout your NQT year helping you feel motivated, inspired and ensuring you get off to a flying start in your teaching career.
Here at One Education, our expert advisory teachers and consultants can help you to continue to embed and further improve your skills and knowledge from your Initial Teacher Training and provide you with fantastic development opportunities. It’s led by high calibre senior leaders with approved track record of excellent NQT development and support. Our training is informed by national and international research as well as incorporating successful and innovating practice to enable you to show impact in your practice.
