Dear Colleagues,
We trust you had a rejuvenating half-term break. We're excited to share the latest updates from the Teaching School Hub Team with you!
Appropriate Body (AB)
As we near the upcoming assessment window for Early Career Teachers (ECTs), please be reminded that the deadline for report submissions is Friday, March 8th. Should you encounter any difficulties meeting this deadline, we encourage you to promptly reach out to the AB Team at ab@exceedacademiestrust.co.uk for support. Ahead of this see below upcoming training and support:
New Induction Tutor Training: Thursday 22nd February 2-2.30pm
Mandatory for all Induction Tutors who joined us in January or who missed the November 7th session. This training is crucial for staying abreast of the induction process and ensuring you're fully equipped to support your ECTs
Assessment Window Updates: Thursday 22nd February 2.30-3pm
?A must-attend for all Induction Tutors. This session will provide valuable insights into the latest assessment window protocols. Participants from the previous session are encouraged to stay on the call.
Appropriate Body Q&A: Wednesday 6th March 3.30-4.30pm
An optional, yet highly beneficial session for anyone seeking additional support or guidance during the assessment window. Louise Wisson, our AB Lead, will be available to answer your questions throughout the session.
NPQs:
We're thrilled to report that the February 2024 NPQ cohort launch was a resounding success. It was a pleasure to meet and welcome all new participants and Visiting Fellows at our recent conferences, which have been met with positive feedback. Here's what some attendees had to say:
“Discussing the programme content and developing a deeper understanding of the simple model of memory was extremely beneficial.”
“Explanation of retrieval practice and ‘Science of Learning’ knowledge was really clear and broken down into manageable chunks.''
''Visiting Fellows both had great subject knowledge and were able to clarify misconceptions and draw out powerful discussions from the group. I thoroughly enjoyed my first session!”
“Having the chance to meet colleagues from other schools was great as it allowed for networking and sharing ideas. The content shared and discussed was relevant to my role which was really useful.”
Initial Teacher Training (ITT)
We are excited to announce the imminent relaunch of the Bradford for Teaching platform. This initiative aims to highlight the significant benefits and opportunities that come with engaging in Initial Teacher Training. Stay tuned for more details on the website launch. In the meantime, for the latest updates and insights, follow us on X (formerly Twitter) @BradfordTeach.
Warm wishes
