Initial Teacher Training Guide for Schools Supporting recruitment in your setting As your local Teaching School Hub, Teach West London plays a critical role in promoting teacher recruitment. One way we do this is by supporting schools who wish to offer placements for trainee teachers. We have put together some information to support schools to navigate the ITT landscape to offer valuable school placements to trainees and grow their next ECTs! *Please note that the information provided in this guide is not specific to Teach West London as a school-centred ITT provider but rather provides independent information for schools who are considering providing placements for trainee teachers.
