NQT INDUCTION
2
What does ‘NQT’ mean?
• Statutory induction period (3 terms / 195 days)
• Termly assessment against the teachers’
standards, informed by half termly formal
observations and progress meetings
• At end of period, school recommends outcome
• LA decides
• NCTL ratifies
3
The Relevant Standards
The Teachers’ Standards will be used to assess an NQT’s performance at
the end of their induction period. The decision about whether an NQT’s
performance against the relevant standards is satisfactory upon
completion of induction should take into account the NQT’s work context
and must be made on the basis of what can be reasonably expected of an
NQT by the end of their induction period within the framework set out by
the standards. Judgements should reflect the expectation that NQTs have
effectively consolidated their initial teacher training (ITT) and
demonstrated their ability to meet the relevant standards consistently
over a sustained period in their practice.
