TEACHER INDUCTION 2001/2002
The purpose of this circular is to
update and advise divisions and associations about the induction arrangements
set out in DfES Circular 582/2001 on ‘The Induction Period for Newly
Qualified Teachers’, which replaces the previous DfEE Circulars 90/2000
and 5/99.
Attached to this Circular is: a
guidance note on induction to division and local association secretaries in
England, which replaces that attached to NUT Circular 141/00(E/EO);
a copy of DfES Circular 582/2001,
‘The Induction Period for Newly Qualified Teachers’, for divisions in
England.
Yours sincerely,

LTA advice
The induction provided by Lambeth is of a
good quality and we recommend it. There are induction afternoons, but NQTs are
entitled to 10% non-contact over and above what is norm for their school to
assist induction.
Are you getting that entitlement?
NQTs are also entitled to be mentored by
a senior member of staff. We know of at least one school where this is not
happening.
There are guidelines found on other web
pages her, but also survey findings which are very informative. Should you want
a copy of that or any other material, please contact us.
