Opogo, alongside partner Pete Atherton, are hosting a FREE afternoon webinar offering insightful and practical advice, especially for newly qualified teachers (NQTs) and trainee teachers. Pete has a wealth of experience in teaching, educating trainee teachers and writing about education and technology. This webinar is perfect for you if:
• You are a trainee teacher and are concerned about starting your career in teaching.
• You are an NQT who is concerned about gaps in their knowledge.
• You are a Teaching Assistant or Graduate Teaching Assistant looking to explore the expectations of qualifying as a teacher.
An introduction from Pete Atherton
I hope you are all keeping well. I thought I'd introduce myself ready for Thursday. I am really looking forward to being with you and sharing some experience, ideas and tips.
My aim is to help teachers teach in a more rewarding way. My writing and research are about developing the right skills, behaviours and mindset to thrive in a quickly changing landscape.
I taught English, media and film studies, led a department in schools and colleges for over 20 years. My teaching was transformed when I discovered how to demonstrate effective pedagogy using technology but without compromising traditional skills and literacies.
I now train teachers and offer support on pedagogy and technology. I believe in teaching in an inspiring and inclusive way.
I've developed this short training for NQTs.
My aim during this training is to offer you some crucial information about what is required of teachers as they begin their careers. This advice should help you feel more empowered as you enter the profession.
See you Thursday.
