ABSTRACT
As a Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) you already bring many skills to your new profession from your previous experience and from your initial teacher education. You may be embarking on a period of formal induction training and assessment, with an established induction tutor, or going through your school’s in-service training programmes. The foundations you lay down for your professional development will support you throughout your career. As an NQT you should be attached to a mentor who supports you at this stage of development.
