The New Teacher Support Course

Welcome to The New Teacher Support Course.

This course is designed to support the professional development of new teachers in their first year of teaching in the further education sector.

This site hosts all the course contents and is designed to be used by a College induction team, or section of Senior Practitioners, when they are designing their support programmes for new teachers.

The course is divided into 30 sessions that build in a natural narrative way to support a new teacher in their first year. The components may also be helpful for teachers who need a refresher for parts of their practice.

Each session has a lesson plan, presentation, handouts and real activities or techniques for the new teacher to take away and try out each week.

Please see the Course Introduction before you start; this explains the concept of the course and different ways you can use it.

This course was developed by Cirencester College and Shrewsbury Colleges Group in a collaborative project funded by the FEPDG (2022).
