A Guide to Your File
Congratulations! You have now finished your programme and are embarking upon an exciting new chapter in your life and your career.
Whether you are going straight into employment, embarking on further study or taking some time out we highly recommend that you take time to become acquainted with this file and its purpose.
The aim of this file is to support you as you embark upon your new career. It is designed to be a brief and effective way of helping you to keep track of your experiences and evaluate your progress as a teacher in your first year of qualification and beyond. Many of the approaches in this file aresimply good practice and the kinds of simple activities that experienced teachers undertake consistently throughout their careers. The aim is to support, encourage and help guide positive habits that will benefit you now and in the future.
This file is not compulsory, it won’t be monitored or handed in for assessment; it is entirely owned by you and for your own benefit. It is important to remember that this file is a guide only and that you can adapt, add and change its content to meet your own needs, your own context and your preferred way of tracking your progress. In much the same way as you had control over the format, presentation and organisation of your ILP you also have control over this.
In this file you will also find information about:
- key aspects of Teesside University support that are available to you after you have completed your programme
- on-going support that you may receive from your study centre on completion of your programme
- useful contacts, sites and resources where you can find advice and guidance on your next steps and as your career progresses.
It is strongly recommended that you keep copies of any supporting documents in the evidence section at the back of this file. You will find that keeping documentation organised and close to hand in this way will be invaluable when it comes to applying for new jobs, considering further study or as part of your appraisal/ performance management processes.
Good luck and do keep in touch and let us know how you are progressing!

- meetings
- extra-curricular activities
- trips, away days
- courses that you attend
- observations of you or others
We recommend that you include evidence of these activities where possible.
