The core standards apply to all newly qualified teachers (NQTs) who started induction from September 2007. Professional standards help to guide teachers' professional development and choices throughout their careers.
Supporting the induction process: guidance for newly qualified teachers
We have produced some guidance to help NQTs:
- review progress on how they are meeting the standards
- identify professional development needs and priorities, including what further experience, monitoring and support would be helpful.
The guidance is arranged in themes, grouping together the standards that have a natural relationship together. You can access the guidance directly from the professional standards pages of the TDA website, or by following the themed links below:
- Theme 1: developing professional and constructive relationships
- Theme 2: working within the law and frameworks
- Theme 3: professional knowledge and understanding
- Theme 4: professional skills
- Theme 5: developing practice
Alternatively, you can download the full guidance in one document, Supporting the induction process: TDA guidance for newly qualified teachers (PDF, 3 MB)
