Wakefield Local Authority (LA) believes the individuality of a newly qualified teacher needs to be recognised. Each new teacher brings a wealth of potential and professional experience which needs to be developed. Their enthusiasm and commitment to learning should be fostered. Newly qualified teachers (NQTs) have an entitlement to a well-structured and supportive induction programme and in return have a responsibility to adopt a professional, reflective and self-evaluative approach to their work.
Wakefield schools actively support the professional development of newly qualified teachers and the LA offers an exciting induction programme that will meet the needs and maximise the potential of every newly qualified teacher.
The Wakefield Induction programme offers:
- An advance salary facility
- Full INSET programme
- Termly training opportunity for NQT tutor/mentors
- End of year conference
- Termly Welcome Meetings
- Comprehensive handbooks for NQTs, Headteachers and Induction Tutor/Mentors
- Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) for NQTs
Wakefield is one of very few Authorities that continue to offer a full core and complementary training programme for NQTs during their Induction year.
Further information about Induction in Wakefield for NQTs, Headteachers and Induction Tutors/Mentors can be found on the Wakefield Internet Learning Domain website (see Related Links).
