Accounting for Teachers' Priorities

The initial phase of training needs analysis and action planning will take account of the priorities of teachers, schools and local authorities.

The Action Plan shown in Outcomes of Training will take account of the following:

  • The teacher's identified competences - subject to ratification by the tutor
  • The teacher's stated needs depending on phase, subject and individual factors
  • The school's stated objectives, ratified by the Headteacher
  • The local authorities' strategic statements of objective, as passed from the steering group through the management structure

The Action Plan will be subject to review by the teacher and the tutor, but also to quality assessment as a key document and to discussion with the Headteacher on a sample basis.
