5 School Direct is a year long, school based teacher training programme, where you immerse yourself into life as a teacher from day one as a member of the school staff We offer both salaried and training based places in a range of subjects Secondary and Primary

6 Dispelling common misconceptions about School Direct! MYTH I ll get thrown in at the deep end, teaching difficult classes by myself early on I ll only train in one school I want something broader than this There s no academic or theoretical training. I won t get a PGCE Don t most people go to University to do teacher training? I won t receive the same level of financial support that I would following a university led path to teaching I m not sure whether School Direct is for people thinking of switching career School Direct is the same as Teach First FACT You are part of a team from the start and receive intensive support from experience teachers in the classroom. You won t be teaching classes unsupported until school thinks you are ready, and opportunities will exist to build networks with fellow trainees To become a qualified teacher, you have to take training placements in two settings. Trainees will train in at least two schools, and will usually spend time in other schools too (i.e cross phase, specialisms etc) Yes you will. We are working with the Sheffield Hallam University who offer the PGCE (60 credits at Masters Level). Our QTS and PGCE programme are set to complement each other. School-led routes into teaching have been around for many years, and have high rates of trainee satisfaction. In 2013/14 third of Postgraduate ITT places were school led. In it will be half There is the same financial support for the School led route. In addition, only school led routes offer a salaried route for career changers. It definitely is. People with at least three year s work experience can apply for the salaried route (and no bursary) or standard training route for which bursaries are available. No they are different (although they are both teacher training). You apply to them differently; School Direct through UCAS, Teach First direct to Teach First. There are far more places available for School Direct than Teach First. SCITTs are the same as School Direct Various providers can offer the School Direct Programme. SCITTs are a school based provider of ITT.

7 We offer trainees the opportunity to gain Qualified Teacher Status - QTS & *PGCE (with 60 credits at Masters Level) Included in the programme will be short term placement at another same phase school & cross phase school If you are considering the salaried route you will need at least three years work experience if you wish to apply *with Sheffield Hallam University
