TRANSCRIPT
This presentation considers the revised Ofsted framework
What are some of the challenges it may present,
due to the staged approach?
Implications: Stage 2
• Destinations of NQTs/former trainees, including those observed at stage one, as well as addresses and unique reference numbers (URNs) for employing schools, colleges and/or other settings.
• Any targets that the ITE partnership set for a trainee for their induction.
• These activities are likely to include observations of NQTs’/former trainees’ teaching, discussions with NQTs/former trainees, induction tutors and head teachers, principals and/or other senior staff.
Key document is our TAD
Tracking Assessment Data.Trainees’ journey linked to the Professional Standards;
some colleges are using these
Termly Strategic Partnership Committees
• Assistant Principal as Chair; so drives the agenda
• Engagement with the employers, so lots of the trainees gain employment in their placement or locally (“unique destinations data for the sector” Ofsted 2014)
• Generates a shared understanding of the issues we face as ‘partners’
What we do......dual purpose
Start of the course....Induction activities• Set up expectations from the start
• Complete a pen portrait that follows trainees
• Start the Skills and Subject Specialist Pedagogy audits
Embedded within the Professional Practice module
• Ongoing....• PDP pack/Standards• Skills audits• CPD Plan • Employers in for careers sessions/micro-teach
demonstration, pre-interview meetings, so again strengthens links
At the end and beyond into employment...
• Targets and grades gained in meeting the Professional Standards
• CPD Plan, pen portrait of learning journey and audits; all inform the induction process and NQT year (if given one as many seem to be now)
• Destinations surveys; data gained and updated regularly
Keeping in touch
• Contact e-mails, social media • Help with QTLS applications • NQT and Alumni events• Alumni initiative: bringing former trainees back as subject specialists
Trainees return to contribute to building up teaching and learning activities in
‘Shareville College’
