Induction

As an NQT you should participate fully in your induction programme to ensure it is as appropriate and effective as possible. You have an important perspective on your development needs, and should know your strengths and achievements. This means that you should:

plan a programme of monitoring, support and assessment with your induction tutor
participate in planned development activities
review your progress towards the core standards, and participate in setting, reviewing and revising objectives to help you to meet them
gather evidence towards your own assessment
take increasing responsibility for your own professional development
raise any concerns about your induction programme as soon as possible

You might find the professional development portfolio helpful. This is Ealing's framework for planning development and identifying evidence for NQTs termly assessments.

Make sure you have completed all the requirements before begining your induction by using the induction checklist 2011/12 (word)
