Your Induction Toolkit: The Downloads
Here’s a quick breakdown of what they are and why they’re so important:
1. Induction as a Short-Term Supply Teacher Notification Form
- What it is: This is the official form that lets the appropriate body (like the EWC in Wales) know that you’re starting your induction period.
- Why you need it: Think of it as raising the official “I’m starting!” flag. It gets the ball rolling and ensures all the valuable experience you’re about to gain counts towards your final sign-off. No form, no official start!
- What it is: This is your instruction manual, your guide, your “read-before-you-begin” bible for the induction meetings.
- Why you need it: It’s the document that demystifies the entire induction process. It outlines the standards, what’s expected of you, and how the assessment works. Reading this beforehand is like getting the answers to the test before you even start the class – it prevents surprises and helps you feel confident from day one.
3. Record of Attendance as a Short-Term Supply Teacher
- What it is: Exactly what it says on the tin! This is your personal logbook to meticulously track the days and sessions you work in different schools.
- Why you need it: This document is your evidence. It’s the crucial proof required to show you’ve completed the necessary number of sessions to pass your induction. Keep it safe, fill it in diligently, and future you will be very, very grateful!
