Devon Local Authority acting as the ‘Appropriate Body’, supports the induction programme for NQTs and monitors their progress throughout the first year of teaching.   Providing on-going training, monitoring and evaluation of the programme and giving advice and guidance to Newly Qualified Teachers and in-school Tutors, the Local Authority aims to ensure that the induction process is effective, fair and accurate.   In support of this, further details about the NQT induction programme can be found by clicking on the appropriate links to the left of this page.   As a Local Authority, Devon also gives priority to supporting teachers throughout their teaching career, through quality personal and professional development.  For more information please see CPD on-line for training and development opportunities.
