This Second Year Teacher Programme is designed for teachers who finished their NQT year in Summer 2021 and are known as the ‘the pre-September 2021 cohort’.

This programme is an excellent opportunity for anyone in their second year of teaching, and especially for those who have already worked with us during their NQT year.

It gives individuals the opportunity to develop their teaching expertise further. It also gives schools the opportunity to take advantage of the ‘one-off payment to further support the development of this cohort’ which is being offered by the DfE. More information can be found online .

Delegates may attend some or all of the six sessions during the academic year.

Session One - Behaviour Management (links to TS 1 and 7)

Session Two - Pedagogy (links to TS 2, 4 and 5)

Session Three - Curriculum (links to TS 3)

Session Four - Assessment (links to TS 6)

Session Five - Professional Behaviours (links to TS 8)

Session Six - Planning for my career ahead

This half-day session will:

develop teachers’ understanding of ‘learning’ as an alteration in long-term memory;
consider what research tells us about learning, and how concepts and skills are embedded in long-term memory;
focus on the importance of not overloading working memory and the implications of this for lesson planning;
enhance understanding of how critical strong curriculum design is (the ‘What’), including: the identification of subjects’ endpoints; the clarification and sequencing of subjects’ core concepts and skills (components); and how ‘progress’ in learning is established;
share strategies that embed learning in long-term memory.

Please note: Teachers in their 3rd and 4th year of teaching may also find these sessions useful and are welcome to attend.
