At Erasmus Darwin Academy we strive to get the best out of our students and the same can be said for our staff and trainees. We hope to inspire the next generation of teachers through our comprehensive provision.
The Academy offers Professional Experience Sessions to support trainees in their development. There are a number of sessions covered on the following strands: lesson planning and engagement, cognitive science, assessment, adaptive teaching and professional behaviour and wellbeing.
As well as this, ITT teachers have weekly meetings with mentors to provide personalised support with their training. We hope that having encouraging and motivating mentors who model excellent teaching and learning will ensure that ITT teachers feel supported and inspired.
As an Academy, we work closely with various providers to support teachers in the initial stages of their career. The relationship with providers is a valuable recruitment tool for us to secure the highest quality teachers.
