The Thinking Schools Academy Trust (TSAT) recognise the importance of in-school training and have meticulously developed partnerships with school, SCITTS, and leading universities across the south of England such the University of Portsmouth. We are proud to work with Inspiring Future Teachers as a new ITT partner.
This collaboration offers trainee teachers the dual advantage of acquiring both QTS and PGCE qualifications, setting them on a path to excellence from day one.
Every year, a new generation of enthusiastic individuals embark on a mission to inspire, educate, and shape the minds of the future. These aspiring teachers often face the fundamental question: Where should I start my journey? The answer lies within the schools themselves, and at TSAT, we have crafted an experience that transforms trainee teachers not just into brilliant teachers but also inspiring role models that showcase the meaning of transforming life chances.
Why are schools the perfect training ground?
A common misconception is that theoretical knowledge learned in traditional educational routes is the only requirement for becoming an excellent teacher. While theory is important, the practical experience of managing a classroom, understanding student dynamics, and adapting to real-world teaching challenges is equally as important. Schools offer a live environment in which trainee teachers can integrate theory and refine their practice. This hands-on approach ensures that when trainee teachers are finally ready to step into their own classroom, they do so confidently and competently.
