ABSTRACT
Schools vary widely in the extent to which they are involved in the training of new teachers. In discussions with one (very successful) school, which was not until recently part of our ITT partnership, or any other form of ITT, the head explained that the school did not consider that teacher education was its ‘core business’ and that any financial remuneration would not compensate for the amount of staff time that would have to be diverted away from the education of pupils.
