answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>Initial Teacher Training (ITT) must prepare trainees to meet the Teachers' Standards (2011) in order to gain Qualified Teacher Status. This includes enabling trainees to demonstrate that they can manage behaviour effectively to ensure a good and safe learning environment.</p><p> </p><p>Providing the best possible training is at the heart of the Government’s drive to improve teaching standards. The Department published the framework of core content for ITT in July 2016, alongside a behaviour management report. The framework advises that trainees should “learn and practise a range of routines for improving pupil behaviour…and be able to employ strategies to secure and maintain an orderly classroom.” The behaviour management report advises that providers should “ensure trainees have the skills, knowledge and attitudes to manage behaviour successfully”.</p><p>In May 2018, the Department committed to extending the induction period for new teachers, supported by an early career framework (ECF). The content of this framework will complement ITT and support trainees to continue to develop their knowledge, skills and behaviours as they embark on their early careers.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 16/01/2019 12:27:39 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>In May 2018, the Department for Education set out a range of proposals to ensure that all teachers - from those beginning their induction period to more experienced teachers - have greater access to high-quality support, expertise and professional development. The early career framework, which will give all new teachers access to an enhanced offer of support at the beginning of their career and schools greater guidance, forms just one part of these commitments.</p><p> </p><p>The department is working in collaboration with a small expert group and in consultation with wider experts and stakeholders to establish the framework content. This engagement includes a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) focus group. We are clear that wide sector engagement is critical to ensuring that the framework offers early career teachers access to greater support from the beginning of their career and that this support will have a positive impact on all pupils, regardless of school phase, setting, size and geography.</p><p> </p><p>The SEND focus group are meeting regularly with the department to ensure that all pupils – including those with SEND and other vulnerable groups – benefit from the enhanced Continuing Professional Development offer of teachers.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 11/09/2018 12:35:09 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
