Grad2Teach | Phase One Training | Term One
Welcome to your first term on Grad2Teach’s Phase 1 Teacher Training course!
Your focus this term is on 3 of the key Teachers’ Standards that will enable you to move into term 2 of the course with confidence; both within the classroom and the wider school community. As part of your training you will be exposed to, and have opportunities to discuss, important pedagogy with the Grad2Teach Teaching and Learning Team (T&L Team) and our Professional Assessors (PAs) who have a wide range of expertise. Alongside this support, you will have pastoral and teaching support from your Partnerships Coordinators (PCs), Course Manager and Course Director.
The 3 Teachers’ Standards for term 1 are:
- Professional Values: Teacher Standard 8 (TS8) ‘Fulfil wider professional responsibilities’ and Part 2 ‘Personal and Professional Conduct’ including safeguarding
- Behaviour Management: Teacher Standard 7 (TS7) ‘Manage behaviour effectively to ensure a good and safe learning environment’
- Lesson Planning: Teacher Standard 4 (TS4) ‘Plan and teach well-structured lessons’
The Trainee Hub is where you will create your portfolio with evidence of completed tasks, course modules and Grad2Teach documents. During your first term you will practise how to complete the Grad2Teach documents accurately in preparation for terms 2 and 3 when you will work closely with your own Professional Assessor (PA).
Do remember to check the calendar regularly for your scheduled PC Tutor Meetings, Training Sessions and Task Deadlines.
All the best in your first term as you start your journey to becoming a teacher with us at Grad2Teach which, as you will find out, is one of the most fulfilling, enjoyable and rewarding professions!
