Handbook of guidance

Publication summary

This handbook accompanies Qualifying to teach. The standards and requirements in Qualifying to teach give providers increased flexibility in the way they design their programmes, and encourage increased use of professional judgement. The purpose of this handbook is to help providers as they exercise this judgement and to help them maximise the opportunities for development that Qualifying to teach offers. It aims to help everyone involved in initial teacher training (ITT) to understand the aims and scope of both the standards and requirements.
