The first year in teaching will be rewarding and stimulating, but it will also be hard and stressful for most NQTs. A good induction program benefits not only NQTs but also those who support and assess them. Good teachers make good schools - but good schools also make good teachers. In this book, NQT development expert Dr Sara Bubb, explains clearly, accessibly and concisely how to have a successful induction year. It's written both for new teachers themselves and those who support, monitor and assess them: headteachers, induction tutors, coordinators and mentors.

It covers key areas including:

- induction regulations
- what NQTs are entitled to
- meeting the teachers' standards
- building relationships
- managing work load
- emotional resilience
- professional development

This is the essential guide on how to successfully complete the NQT year!
