So proud to welcome our inaugural cohort of Trainee Teachers. These people are life changers for our pupils across the North West and beyond! #ITT #ITE #TeacherTraining #TrainToTeach

It'll be great work. We don't have capacity to support next year but have been the sole partner for the past 4 years. They're such a great bunch of schools!

Yes - I used to lead our role as a Delivery Partner for the Inclusion Hub for D11 - supported so many schools and children! Fingers crossed, although the prevalence of need just seems to be ever growing. Think there's probably a multitude of reasons for that too!!

Also.... It's an old picture... That's why you recognise me in it πŸ˜‚

I'm very lucky to have worked with great people to have learnt from! I'm based at Tor View where I went after the PRU but now Head of the SCITT in the Trust

Hi Lynn! Good to meet you again. I was the seconded DHT at HB PRU when you came and delivered training.

I'm just reading Jim Knight's Instructional Coaching - the 7 steps to success (there is an earlier one). I've done a chapter a day over the last week - really digestible and thought provoking.

Definitely! You're more than welcome to come and visit us or jump on Teams in September?

Do you happen to work with Trainee Teachers too? It would be great to share details of your organisation with our new recruits. Wellbeing is critical for Embrace SCITT

Great! I trained at JMU and have still got some links over there. Which school are you in?

Hi Richard!

It would be great to connect! Whereabouts are you based?

You and I both know I don't have the executive functioning to keep up with two books simultaneously!

πŸ˜†! I'm trying to do a chapter a day.

It would be great for folks to complete this - I will be sharing with our Trainee Teachers at the beginning of the year! Behaviour is notoriously a point of anxiety for new teachers...

Embrace SCITT has front loaded behaviour training to support our new teachers as they join their schools!

Loving the vibe on #EduSky!

I'm the Head of a new ITT provider in the North West.

Previous experience in both Primary and Seconday and led across mainstream, PRU and Special Schools.

Looking forward to rejoining a positive, supportive community and learning from everyone!

Hi Haili, have you spoken to the CofE EduTeam? They are running programmes called 'Leaders Like Us'! Such amazing work that they're doing with serving and aspirant BAME Leaders
