TRAINING TO TEACH ‘We will recruit, train and retain the very best staff driven by a strong culture of professional development and mutual support in the pursuit of highly effective teaching and the highest levels of student progress.’ This half term, 100% of our Primary SEND students successfully completed their developing placements, Katie Jones, Professional Programme Lead, Teach Manchester said, “It has been a pleasure to visit schools across Manchester and observe how effectively students are able to implement and embed theory into practice, ensuring the highest levels of student progress. For World Book Day, they independently created and resourced sensory stories with linked practical activities to engage and bring the tales to life. The quality of these activities was impressive, staff from across school praised their contributions highly.” Interested in teaching?
