Graduate Teacher Programme - Introduction Week

All trainees are required to attend a week (five days) of introductory activities during July 2012 (final date to be confirmed) prior to starting the programme. 

The programme for the week is designed to:

  • provide information about the partnership and the Stockton-on-Tees Graduate Teaching programme
  • introduce you to the partnership team
  • begin to develop your understanding of teaching and learning
  • begin the process of self-evaluation and action planning which will be the basis of your learning throughout the coming year

You will spend much of the week in your lead school getting to know; the training co-ordinator, the school-based tutor, other school personnel and the children and young people that you will be working with.

During the centre-based sessions you will meet the partnership manager, administrator; co-ordinator;  external consultants, current trainees and your school partnership representative.

NB: We are unable to make payment to trainees attending the introductory week.
