The first three years in teaching

The first years in teaching are vitally important in establishing teachers in the profession.  The two sites linked from this page give details of support programmes, funding and requirements for:

Newly Qualified Teachers and their Induction Tutors

The NQT Induction pages give information about the statutory induction year, support and assessment, funding, registration and professional development.

Teachers in their second and third years

The Early Professional Development pages provide details of the pilot programmes of support for teachers in their second and third year, the range of professional development available, obtaining a grant, and the reactions of teachers already involved.  There is also a comprehensive list of useful web links.
