Teachers; shaping the future.

ITT Values

Educate: Excellent teaching is not just sharing knowledge, it is about planning, sequencing and framing it, in a way, that is meaningful, challenging, and accessible to all learners.

Empower: Excellent teachers support and develop all learners. They scaffold, model, review and develop learners, so they can actively engage in achieving their potential.

Engage: Excellent teachers actively seek opportunities to develop their pedagogy, by keeping up to date with evidence informed research. They realise the value of continuous professional development and its importance in maximising the potential of all learners.

Enrich: Excellent teachers provide opportunities to create lifetime memories, they facilitate discovery, foster curiosity, and seek to develop resilience, character, and confidence.

The Wonder Learning Partnership believes that all Initial Teacher Trainees will aspire to be excellent teachers. We are committed to supporting you to achieve your potential by ensuring that our ITT values are at the core of our school direct ITT programme.
