Newly Qualified Teacher
Support Programme 2013-14
Introduction
The NQT Support Programme has been designed to help NQTs build and extend the knowledge and skills developed during their initial teacher training in an environment of Christian care and pastoral support. The scheme provides opportunities for them to meet their peer group, to discuss common issues away from their place of employment, to engage in a programme of on-going training, as well as benefiting from advice and support from an external professional.
Over the last 3 academic years the Diocese has successfully supported over 50 NQT’s in their first year of teaching through this programme.
NQT Support Programme
The programme consists of 6 half-termly meetings – three hour afternoon workshops. Each session considers a specific topic area for discussion and learning.
All workshops will be held at The Diocesan Education Centre, The Cathedral, Stag Hill, Guildford, GU2 7UP.
