The initial teacher training (ITT) tutor should familiarise trainees with the induction arrangements and work with them at transition point one of the career entry and development profile (CEDP) .
The ITT tutor should also sign to confirm that individual discussions have occurred at transition point one of the CEDP. A sample form for transition point one can be downloaded.
Support and assessment for newly qualified teachers
All newly qualified teachers (NQTs) should receive structured support and guidance. Induction will build on what new teachers have learned in meeting qualified teacher status (QTS) standards. It will take account of the strengths and development needs identified using the CEDP towards the end of the ITT programme.
NQTs will be assessed at the end of induction against a set of core standards. They must continue to meet the QTS standards consistently and with increasing competence, and to progress further in specific areas. NQTs must demonstrate that they have met the core standards to remain registered with the General Teaching Council for England, and to continue teaching in a maintained school or non-maintained special school.
The career entry and development profile
The CEDP is designed to help trainee and newly qualified teachers think about development at three transition points:
- transition point one – towards the end of initial teacher training (ITT)
- transition point two – at the start of induction
- transition point three – at the end of induction
The ITT tutor will introduce the profile process, and help trainees record their responses at transition point one.
