mistakes and learn
from them.
Be very organised
from the start.
A phone call home will
speak volumes to the
rest of the class.
Remember, learn from
those around you and
develop your practice.
Be consistent, follow through
on sanctions and praise good
behaviour or effort.
Use NQT time wisely
by observing others’
teach.

Mentor and NQT…..The Next Steps
The Autumn term will bring many challenges where you will need to consider:
Arranging a lesson observation during the first half of the term, followed by a review meeting with your Induction Tutor.
Arrange a further meeting to discuss your progress before the end of the second half of term.
Make certain that any targets set are clear, achievable and in line with your NQT action plan.
Begin organising a portfolio of evidence and cross-reference against each of the Teachers’ Standards.
Ensure that the NQT online assessment form is completed by your Induction Tutor, yourself and your Headteacher by the deadline. You can download and save a copy for yourself.
Identify your strengths and weaknesses.
What support is planned to help you meet your next set of targets?
You can also upload evidence that may be relevant.
What CPD courses will best meet your needs?
For NQT assessment login to BLT Online at

Additional Primary NQT Courses
Learning Outside the Classroom
Tuesday 3rd November 2015, 09:30 to16:30 at ALF Green Park Centre (The Yurt)
A hugely popular and practical 'hands-on' course in the inspiring 80 acres of Parkland at Green Park. The day will enable NQTs to plan and lead educational school visits off-site and develop creative ways of using your school grounds for teaching and learning.
Formative Marking & Feedback
Tuesday 17th November 2015, 13:30 to15:30 The Gateway, Aylesbury
Delegates will review and reflect on their own practice with regard to marking and feedback, share good practice, evaluate exemplar work and develop strategies to ensure that marking and feedback provide opportunities for their pupils to progress while maintaining a manageable teacher workload.
Confidence & Creativity for Teaching Primary PE
Thursday 28th April 2016, 12:00 to15:30 ALF Green Park Centre
Aimed at primary teachers who have limited or no training during their ITT. It is a practical course which will cover the basic fundamental skills (running, hopping, throwing, catching, striking and balancing). These are the precursor to the more specialised, complex skills used in games, sports, dance, gymnastics, outdoor education and play. The course will cover warm up ideas which reinforce the fundamental skills, provided practices which can be used across man activities and key generic PE teaching points. The course will introduce you to S.T.E.P. as a way of organising and differentiating your PE lesson. Go back to school with lots of ideas for your lessons!
