Top Tips for NQTs
NQT Induction
Induction can be completed via short term supply teaching work, and there is no time limit on how long you have to complete your Induction after you have gained Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
If you are completing Induction via supply work you are required to complete a minimum of 380 sessions, a full day’s work is classed as 2 sessions. 1 session is defined as a full morning, or afternoon’s teaching as a qualified teacher. Sessions completed as a school Learning Support Assistant/Cover Supervisor cannot count towards induction.
All periods of employment which you undertake as a qualified Teacher of one school session or more must count towards your Induction period and must be recorded with the EWC. There is no flexibility regarding this and you, or schools cannot request that a period of employment does not count towards Induction. Short term supply work undertaken prior to September 2012 cannot count towards Induction.
Submission of paperwork
If you are an NQT undertaking supply work you must submit the Induction as a Short Term Supply Teacher notification form (Form 3 – click the link below to access the forms)
https://www.ewc.wales/site/index.php/en/induction/forms.html to EWC as soon as you start your employment. Once the EWC have received and processed your form they will email you with details on how to create your MyEWCaccount, and also how to record your supply sessions with EWC.
If your employment circumstances change at any point during your Induction please contact Professional Development and Funding for advice.
In addition to logging sessions with EWC you are also required to have your sessions verified by the schools you have worked at. These should be recorded in the record of attendance section of your Induction profile. The record of attendance form for short term supply teachers (Form 4 – click the link below to access forms) https://www.ewc.wales/site/index.php/en/induction/forms.html is maintained offline and then uploaded to your Induction profile in line with the timescales set out in your profile. Make sure you get your supply day signed by the Head teacher or Senior member off staff at the end of the day.
All NQTs undertaking Induction in Wales are allocated an external verifier (EV). Once an EV has been allocated their name will be visible via your MyEWC account. Your EV will contact you directly via email.
