Transition point 1

As you near the end of your initial teacher training (ITT) programme, you will want to think about your progress. Your ITT provider will also be preparing you for your induction period and helping you understand your role in that process. 

This section helps you consider your experiences before, during and outside your formal training programme, and identify achievements and aspirations. You will want to build on your strengths, develop aspects that interest you, and gain more experience in areas where your development is limited.

How to use your evidence

In addition to your responses, you can also draw on existing evidence such as:

  • reports on your teaching observation reports
  • examples of your planning
  • records of objectives set during your ITT programme
  • your own audits of progress towards the standards for qualified teacher status
  • course assignments or subject audits

You can download information on maintaining a portfolio, and use your notes for discussion with your tutors or mentors. You and your tutor can decide how the profile can best help you.

Your ITT tutor should sign to confirm your transition point one discussion took place. A form for the signature is included in the sample formats for transition point one.
