Successful Induction for New Teachers: A Guide for NQTs & Induction Tutors, Coordinators and Mentors

Droichead  is an integrated professional induction framework for newly qualified teachers. It is the programme whereby NQTs are now probated by the in-school Professional Support Team. The following book will be an invaluable support to all involved.

The first year in teaching will be rewarding and stimulating, but it will also be hard and stressful for most NQTs. A good induction program benefits not only NQTs but also those who support and assess them. Good teachers make good schools – but good schools also make good teachers. In this book, NQT  development expert Dr Sara Bubb, explains clearly, accessibly and concisely how to have a successful induction year. It’s written both for new teachers themselves and those who support, monitor and assess them: headteachers, induction tutors, coordinators and mentors. 

It covers key areas including:

·         induction regulations

·         what NQTs are entitled to

·         meeting the teachers’ standards

·         building relationships

·         managing work load

·         emotional resilience

·         professional development

This is the essential guide on how to successfully complete the NQT year!
