The Handbook
The Teacher Education Partnership Handbook (August 2010 Edition) draws together in one place guidance for student teachers, early career teachers, teacher-tutors and others with a role in the three main stages of early teacher education.
To complement the Handbook, the Education Authority has provided information, reports and materials on Induction and Early Professional Development (as well as information for Teacher Tutors) here.
Career entry profile
Early career teachers are required to complete a Career Entry Profile (CEP) to help prepare for their induction period. The CEP does this by:
- helping the early career teacher to focus / reflect on the achievements and goals in the early stages of their teaching career;
- helping the early career teacher to engage in collaborative discussions when planning how to meet their professional learning needs; and
- providing a link between their initial teacher education and the school(s) where they undertake induction.
