All newly qualified teachers (NQTs)
employed at maintained schools in England have to complete
a three-term induction period. Getting Started
gives NQTs advice on their first year of teaching -
how to get to know the school and their new pupils,
how to work with their induction tutor and when to ask
for help.
Practical advice is given on:
- getting to grips with the school's
documentation;
- knowing what to expect in the first
three terms;
- managing pupils' behaviour and establishing
discipline;
- dealing with tiredness and stress;
- time management, prioritising work
and decision-making;
- classroom management; l marking,
recording and assessment.
Drawing on his extensive experience
as a lecturer and teacher trainer, Henry Liebling gives
new teachers guidance on what to look for when observing
experienced colleagues, how to evaluate their own teaching,
and how to build on their Career Entry Profile to meet
the requirements of the induction standards. He suggests
ways in which NQTs can develop their teaching; giving
an overview of theories in teaching and learning styles,
models of teaching, and teaching and learning strategies,
with pointers towards further reading and other useful
sources of information, including web sites.
The School Effectiveness Series Getting
Started is part of the School Effectiveness Series,
which focuses on practical and useful ideas for schools
and individual teachers.
The series addresses the issues of whole-school
improvement and new knowledge about teaching and learning,
and offers straightforward solutions which teachers
can use to make life more rewarding for those they teach.
