Summer Institute
Summer Institute is our initial training for the programme. The training is a hybrid of both online and in-person learning, which will equip you with the core skills you’ll need in the classroom from September 2024.
You’ll receive an excellent grounding in the key areas of behaviour management, lesson planning, and pupil assessment. You’ll attend online sessions with experts, complete self-directed online learning, and spend time in school, practicing the skills you’ve learned, in front of real classes.
How is Summer Institute delivered?
Summer institute can be completed either part-time or full-time. You can complete the learning over nine weeks, rather than five. The part time model requires a weekly commitment of around 12.5 hours, instead of 37.5.
Whichever route you complete you’ll:
- spend five full days in a host school, working on your teaching practice outside of your employment school – we call this school-centred learning
- spend two full days in your employment school meeting your new colleagues
- attend an in-person day networking and meeting some of your peers
- receive high-quality training that provides you with the knowledge and skills you need to set you up for success
We’ll be in touch at the relevant point in the year to ask which version you’d prefer, so start considering now what would work best for you. Places for each version may be capped depending on demand for each model, so please respond promptly when asked for your preference.
