INITIAL TEACHER TRAININGLoading...
‘Professional Development to Shape Lives’
Teaching School Hubs (TSHs) are school-led centres of excellence in professional development, serving a designated area of the country. Acting with the overarching consideration that ‘effective professional development is the most important factor in school improvement,’ these 87 centres of excellence have a clear focus and mandate to support in delivering on the commitments set out in the Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy, creating a world-class teacher development system by transforming the training and support teachers and school leaders receive at every stage of their career.
These teacher development reforms aim to create a ‘golden thread’ of high-quality evidence underpinning the support, training, and development available through the entirety of a teacher’s career. As TSHs we provide evidence-based programmes and qualifications, helping to support teachers to progress from their initial teacher training (ITT) through whichever career pathway they choose.
We are delighted to partner with Kent and Medway Training, acting as a Gateway to high quality Initial Teacher Training
