Beginning your initial teacher training (ITT) is comparable with entering the labyrinth to face the Minotaur. You’re going to find the centre eventually but there will be some twists and turns along the way.
So how can you ensure that you make it out of the maze in one piece? There are a number of things that you can do during your ITT year to help you through (some of which are principles that continue to apply to even after you become a “proper teacher”).
One of the most important things about training is to be open. Calling upon your mentor or your department for support is something that is encouraged. You should never feel that you can’t ask for advice or help with planning, marking/assessment and teaching in general.
