3. Your induction year
The induction period is the bridge between ITT and a career in teaching.
It combines a personalised programme of development, support and professional dialogue with monitoring and an assessment of performance against the Standards.

4. Statutory guidance states:
The decision about whether an NQT has met the standards upon completion of induction should take into account the NQT’s work context and must be made on the basis of what can be reasonably expected of an NQT by the end of their induction period within the framework set out by the standards. Judgements should reflect the expectation that NQTs have effectively consolidated their ITT and demonstrated their ability to meet the relevant standards consistently over a sustained period in their practice.
