Support for Newly Qualified Teachers

Mentoring

Mentoring is an important part of career-long professional learning and forms an integral element of induction. All NQTs will receive day-to-day support from an induction mentor and periodic support from an external verifier. NQTs undertaking induction via the short-term supply route will receive mentoring support from an external verifier.

Professional learning

Professional learning opportunities are available in each local authority or region to support NQTs during their induction. For further information contact the local authority or regional consortium induction co-ordinator.
