thamesmeadscitt
Thamesmead SCITT is a teacher training partnership that strives for excellence
in all areas and works to provide our trainees with the opportunity to develop
into reflective and innovative practitioners. The foundations of the partnership
are based on four core ‘principles of excellence’: Principle 1: To provide
teachers at the start of their careers with challenging and meaningful training
experiences which will provide them with high level skills, knowledge and
understanding required to teach young people in the 21st century. Principle 2:
To build and sustain lasting and enriching partnerships with schools, other
Surrey SCITTs and HEI partners to share best practice and meet local recruitment
demands. Principle 3: To continue to support and work with teachers trained by
the partnership through their transition into NQT and NQT +1 based on the notion
of ‘Leadership at all Levels’. Principle 4: To extend the principles of
‘Leadership at all Levels’ to mentors and school co-ordinators to ensure that
CPD opportunities are made available to them to develop and enhance their
mentoring and coaching skills.
