Transition point 2

At the start of induction, you should talk to your induction tutor about your priorities and how these relate to, build on, or differ from the priorities you identified at transition point 1.

Together you will plan your induction support programme, which will include discussing your early priorities for professional development. This is part of the statutory arrangements for the induction of newly qualified teachers (NQTs).

This section includes questions to prompt your thinking, and should also help you to record your responses and reasons for them. You will probably want to use your notes in future discussions with your induction tutor, particularly when setting and planning your development objectives.

How to use your evidence

You will be able to draw on existing evidence, for example:

  • the notes you made at transition point 1, and the evidence and reasons for them
  • the information you have been given about the school and your role, and
  • any additional experience you have gained between being awarded qualified teacher status (QTS) and starting your induction period.

You will want to be able to find this evidence and, if necessary, share it with your induction tutor. You may wish to attach or copy materials to accompany your profile. You can collect them in your structured folder, or make notes in your profile to indicate where the evidence can be found.

The main focus of the discussions with your induction tutor around transition point 2 is likely to be the setting of professional development objectives and the development of an action plan.
