A highly effective and practical professional development programme for

NQTs & RQTs developed around six key learning themes and six key

questions

Who is it aimed at?

This programme has been specifically designed for newly and recently qualified teachers and looks to support them in developing effective classroom practice, with the emphasis on how individuals can offer outstanding learning experiences for every young learner.

How is it run?

The Newly Qualified Teacher Programme consists of six full-day sessions, focusing on discreet aspects of outstanding classroom practice, effective teaching and learning and necessary professional skills and behaviours.

Each individual day seeks to explore a key dimension within teaching and learning and looks to develop delegates’ classroom practice across all phases.

The programme seeks to deepen delegates’ understanding around the principles of effective learning whilst offering a range of practical ideas and strategies for use in any classroom. Throughout each day, delegates will be introduced to a range of learning tools and supported in considering how these might be developed within their own professional practice.

Delegates will get an opportunity to network with other newly and recently qualified teachers, and schools are encouraged to accommodate requests from the delegates to spend time in each other’s schools outside of the course dates.

Course Leader: Andy Hind

In recent years, Andy Hind has worked with a number of local authorities and Teaching School Alliances

to develop a programme of professional development for newly qualified teachers. Andy is a former

primary school headteacher who has built an international reputation for his innovative

and inspirational approach to teacher training.

He gains immense professional satisfaction through working with newcomers to the

profession and helping them to develop the skills and knowledge required to make the

induction year a springboard to a successful career.

Feedback from previous cohorts of NQTs indicates that Andy’s sessions provide them

with an invaluable foundation of learning in the early stages of their career. Following a

hugely successful programme run through Pickwick Learning last year we are delighted

to be able to offer this exciting programme again this year. Evaluations from delegates

are consistently positive.
