| Summary: | Induction is a serious business but at Greenshaw High, firm rigour about standards is mixed with a friendly, supportive attitude from Pete Jemson, Head of Training. He meets the statutory requirements for PGCEs, for the formal induction of NQTs and for qualifying OTTs - but he goes the extra mile to help and support teachers through the difficult years of training, qualifying and fitting in.PGCE student Emma Woodcock teaches a Year 7 English group observed by Jo Plummer, her mentor during the placement at Greenshaw. Jo feeds back on the strengths and weaknesses of the lesson; Emma's already been offered a job at Greenshaw and Jo will guide her through the upcoming NQT year, when she'll become a mentor herself. NQT Danielle Valdar explains the value of the NQT group , and is observed by Pete with a Year 7 French class. OTT Mike Duffy has the hardest task; he wants to continue teaching here, and is going for QTS and the NQT signoff all at once, under Pete's guidance.
