The induction process should lay the foundations for continuing professional development and career progression.
An effective induction programme will be integrated into the whole school/college development plan with the induction tutor and CPD leader working together to make the most of the professional development opportunities both within and beyond school/college.
Early professional development
At the end of the induction period the induction tutor and NQT should prepare for transition into the performance management cycle in the school/college, liaising with the NQT’s reviewer as appropriate. The final review and assessment will form the basis for discussions about priorities and next steps in the coming year.
Visit our performance management page and Masters in Teaching and Learning for more information on furthering your development.
