ABSTRACT
Your initial teacher training is only the first step in your career. Completing it is rather like completing your driving licence – you will be safe to teach a class but will still have plenty to learn about teaching and very limited experience to draw upon. The next step in your training comes during your year as a Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT). Towards the end of your training you will devote considerable energy to finding the right job for you. This is a job that you feel happy in and one that offers you the professional development you need to become a better teacher. By preparing your Career Entry and Development Profile thoughtfully, you can ensure you get the support you need in your NQT year. This unit should help you.
