ABSTRACT
Induction should provide a personalised programme that supports instructors in moving towards an assessment of their performance against the relevant teaching standards. During instructors’ training, they may start to apply for jobs. This will necessitate some personal decisions about the area in which they aim to work, their preferred type of school, how far their domestic commitments allow to instructors commute each day, and whether they want a full-time post. It is important that instructors’ application includes insights from their Initial Teacher Training course and placements and shows that they can learn from their experiences. In applying for instructors’ first teaching post, they may find theirself writing a Curriculum Vitae for the first time. When instructors are considering applying for a job, they may ask or be invited to look around the school. Some schools schedule specific times and take a large number of applicants around the school together.
