2. Where are we post (and pre) White Paper ? A state of limbo ? Headlines but no clarity ? Nervousness or enthusiasm ? Realistic or deluded ? Ideology on a crash course ?

3. Gove’s Key Myth Need to, ‘..get trainee teachers out of colleges and into schools…’

4. ‘Do you think Gove is in the right job ?’

5. Routes to QTS PGCE (1 year, 2 year, flexible) 3-4 year UG programmes – mainly primary Employment Based Routes (much HEI input) Teach First Overseas Trained Teachers I-Teach (Hibernia College) Distinctions between QTS and HEI awards??

6. A Success Story 77% of 30 000 ITE entrants are in mainstream ITT run jointly by HEIs and schools. Most of the rest are in are in SCITTs and EBITTs managed, validated or supported by HEIs – also true for Teach First, I Teach TDA NQT Survey 2008 – 85/86% rated training as ‘good’ or ‘very good’ Ofsted – 97/94% of trainees are in HEIs rated in top two quality categories (47% ‘Outstanding’) 59% of PGCE have 2:1, 95% have 2:2

7. Select Committee questions pre White Paper ? –9 month PGCE inadequate ? –UG routes too unwieldy and costly ? –Should be master’s level profession ? –Consistency between school and post compulsory ITT ? –Regulatory framework too burdensome ? –Not enough commitment and involvement from schools ? –Increase entry qualifications esp. UG ?

8. White Paper Points Direct funding for ITE in schools ? Financial incentives for best graduates ? Subject emphasis ? NC to be reviewed Military recruitment ? Teach First to be doubled Teaching Schools and University Training Schools
