All ITT providers must ensure:

That they prepare all trainee teachers to teach across two or more consecutive age ranges selected from the following:

* Ages 3-5 (Foundation stage)
* Ages 5-7 (School years 1-2)
* Ages 7-9 (School years 3-4)
* Ages 9-11 (School years 5-6)
* Ages 11-14 (School years 7-9)
* Ages 14-16 (School years 10-11)
* Ages 16-19 (School years 12-13)

and engage them with the expectations, curricula, strategies and teaching arrangements in the age ranges immediately before and after the ones they are trained to teach.

Rationale

Select another requirement

The aim of this requirement is to ensure that, as a result of their training, trainees are well prepared for employment in schools to teach in two or more consecutive age ranges. Taken together with the requirement to engage with the pre- and post-age ranges, this will give trainees sufficient breadth of experience and an understanding of progression.
