About our school experience
- Details
-
In a typical experience day, you will observe a range of lessons within your chosen subject. These are likely to be taught by different teachers and across the age ranges. This will give you the opportunity to speak to pupils.
You will meet with the staff who lead on ITT/ECT Induction. We are experienced in working with ITT providers, and can provide advice and guidance about the local provision for teacher training.
We have a great deal of experience of supporting teachers through teacher training and into their Early Career Induction, and can help you to understand the path through your first 3 years in teaching.
We can tailor your experience to suit you, so please ask if you have any specific requirements. - Start and finish times
