Initial training is the first stage of a newly qualified teacher’s (NQT) development. When they have gained qualified teacher status (QTS) and begun their career as a qualified teacher, they can consolidate their knowledge and build on achievements. This next phase begins with induction.
Career entry and development profile
The career entry and development profile (CEDP) is designed to help trainee and newly qualified teachers (NQTs) think about development at three transition points: towards the end of initial teacher training (ITT) and at the start and end of induction. The profile process supports the reflection on teaching and development that was established during ITT.
A trainee teacher will be actively engaged with transition point one of the profile process. See the CEDP transition point section to find out more.
