Sue Cowley, behaviour management expert, meets two newly qualified teachers (NQTs) as they progress through their first term at a challenging inner-city primary school recently taken out of special measures.
Headteacher Bhupinder Kondal offers insights into how NQTs are supported at Oldknow Junior School in Birmingham, and what they might expect in their first term.
Learning mentor Mark Walters describes how he assesses the progress of NQTs, while assistant headteacher Rebecca English talks about planning across year groups.
Sue joins NQT Simrit Riat in her Year 3 class, providing classroom coaching, practical tips and concentrating particularly on differentiation, exploring what it means and how it can be applied.
