EARLY CAREERS SUPPORT
NQT, RQT & BEYOND
The re-opening of schools following lockdown is a daunting prospect for our newest entrants to the profession. HCTS offers a bespoke and responsive programme newly designed for 2020 to take into account this unprecedented siutation.
Our unique group training combined with smaller tutorial support recognises that NQTs, RQTs and those entering their third year have missed key elements of training. Providing pastoral and emotional support to teachers, addressing gaps in pedagogical and subject knowledge and offering practical tried and tested approaches to behaviour management is central to all the programme, taking into account the new guidelines from the Early Careers Framework. Additional mentor training and support has been built into our 2020/21 offer, taking into account the increased demonds on their roles.

NQT PROGRAMME 2020-21
Our NQT programme is flexible to accommodaate changes to circumstances throughout the year. Recognising our new entrants need time in the classroom, the autumn term training is school based with short, regular Zoon contact and training sessions that support and guide NQTs through the crucialo first few months. The focus being upon;
- NQT emotional and well-being support, offering a strong network of experienced teachers, leaders and peers
- Individual support and training from mentors
- A programme that covers the key elements of the Teaching Standards in line with the Early Career Framework Guidance
The format of training is replicated throughout the year based upon the latest research models. As social distancing relaxes and NQT school-based experience increases, it is anticipated the face to face element will be introduced later in the academic year. Each cycle will begin with interactive training sessions, followed by directed gap tasks, reflection and evaluation in smaller group tutorials.

RQT PROGRAMME 2020-21
Our RQT Programme is designed to support teachers through their second year of teaching, recognising the turbulence and disruption of the last academic year.
Building upon their knowledge, skills and experience, the carefully planned sessions follow a tried and tested format. The first autumn half term will mirror the NQT offer at this difficult time, with a focus on emotional well-being and class management to support children in their return to full time learning.
As the year progresses, this programme is designed to build a learning network. When face to face contact is re-introduced, the RQTs will have opportunities to work alongside Specialist Leaders of Education (SLEs) in a range of subjects, including observing them teach. Interactive lesson studies will focus on refining subject knowledge and securing pedagogical approaches to help RQTs develop the confidence to adapt teaching to suit individual needs. The programme also offers access to our unique Professional Partner Programe. This allows each RQT bespoke support from a named senior leader within our member schools. This can be accessed throughout the year.
