Last year I gained QTS and was graded Outstanding.
I have put together a selection of reflective logs, lesson evaluations, and a lesson plan to share with other trainees. I felt particularly isolated and unsure of what to do with regards to my portfolio of evidence as a trainee, and searched desperately online to see what others had done for inspiration.
This bundle contains three different files. The first is a outline of each teaching standard, the second is a more specific overview of the standards, including the sub-standards. Finally, a evidence checklist has been included, whilst there is two placement columns, it can be altered to add more or have less. This is to help identify which areas of the teaching standards need supporting.
Good luck teaching!
A range of resources for training modern teachers, with a particular focus on language teachers and their digital skills. This bundle also includes a full reflective post-training course.

This is one in a series of teacher training videos and quizzes that covers 18 different SEND needs.
Each video covers the same four sections:-
What is it?
What will I see in the classroom?
What strategies should I use?
Key Points
Each video is between 8 and 10 minutes long, and comes with a quick quiz that can be used to test teacher understanding of the information shared in the video, as well as a certificate that can be personalised with your school logo to award to teachers who successfully complete the training.
This can be tracked and used as evidence for OFSTED that SEND training is high quality, available for all teachers, and is being regularly accessed and tracked.
Available time on INSET training days is always stretched, and this is an ideal way to ensure that SEND training can be completed regularly, and at a convenient time.
The videos can also be signposted to staff following classroom observations that show an area of teaching and learning that needs improvement, highlighting to OFSTED that the performance management system has a focus on SEND, as this is a requirement of the SEND Code of Practice.
Each set is priced at £10 for the video, quiz and certificate, or the entire suite of 18 videos and quizzes is available for a reduced price of £130, to ensure that it will fit within the budget of most schools.

I have made notes against each of the eight teaching standards, giving advice and tips to help somebody training to be a teacher in a primary school. This is based on my own experience of teacher training, as well as observations made as a teaching assistant. The resource can be seen as something of a ‘crib sheet’ and should be very useful if applied. I have shared it with several people who were doing teacher training and have had good feedback. There is also a ‘General Tips’ section at the bottom.
This is a template I created to help me record my observations in class pre PGCE. It's helping me to record important information I may otherwise miss.
In this guide you will find everything you need to know to pass your teacher training with flying colours! The support and advice presented within this document is based on the personal experiences and opinions of the educators involved, who have all taken various routes into teaching. A range of topics have been covered based on the frequently asked questions of future trainees, to provide some initial guidance on what to expect throughout your training and prepare you for September!
