New Opportunities for the Teachers of the Future

New Opportunities for the Teachers of the Future

Schools in Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset are delighted at the prospect of providing training for graduates who want to be teachers.

12 schools, supported by Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset LEAs have combined to submit a successful application to the Teacher Training Agency [TTA] to be a School Centred Initial Teacher Training Centre [SCITT] for secondary trainees (11-18).

The locally based SCITT has now been given the go-ahead and from September 2005 will welcome 30 post-graduates to train as teachers of Design & Technology, English, Maths, Science, ICT and  Modern Foreign Languages.

Trainees will spend most of their year in two placement schools across the three authorities with the remainder of the time in a central teacher training resource base. Expert school staff will provide training ‘on the job’.
