For reference check out the Government NQT standards doc here. Read the standards. Add questions, names of people you think can help further explain or provide you with support to meet these standards. If you go digital my advice is to create a series of folders, one for each standard.
Know your targets each term — I recommends saving them in the notes on your phone, and on sticky notes on the front of your planners! Both your ITT and NQT years are intense and busy but I have always believed starting from a well planned position makes either year less stressful and more successful!

The schools concerned were informing NQTs that they were in danger of failing or would indeed be failed due to not meeting the standards required in certain areas.
My 1st question was, of course, towards the documentation. In these cases NO documentation had been kept and mentor support and input was marginal. As such, no progression had been followed nor evidence kept and signed off.
If it was indeed the case that an NQT colleague needed support for a particular area then of course the school should have ensured that support had been planned and documented correctly…..
The onus is on schools to ensure that Induction year standards, procedures and documentation are implemented fully for NQTs. In employing an NQT there is an inherent understanding that the school will follow this route for the long term benefit of not only the NQT but also the school and pupils. However, as an NQT I am going to give you a word of caution. Should you find yourself in a school where this is not given the importance it should merit then it is up to you to put the documentation in place and to keep things up to date and most importantly SIGNED OFF as you progress.
In this way, not only will you be following, working towards and eventually meeting the official standards but you will have documented proof of your achievements and progression should you ever need it!

So what is the problem? B — Schemes and additional training are overseen through the Local Authority. This occurs more often than you may think — but the system is designed to accommodate such occurrences. As an extension to an individuals training, support features strongly in the whole Induction scheme. Should problems arise, then the school under the guidance of the mentor, should put into place a documented support programme which directly addresses the problem areas and ensures sufficient and targeted support is available.
The school has unrealistic expectations for NQTs too early in the Induction year.
