Induction and Mentoring Newly Qualified Teachers as continuous professional development
About the project
The induction and mentoring of newly qualified teachers (NQTs) is nested in national policies and practices in/for teacher education and continuing professional development. The NTI network is built on a common overall aim for all beginning teachers to be part of sustainable, comprehensive induction and mentoring systems for professional development. The network highlights teacher education as being a continuum of professional learning into the profession. This reframing of teacher education depends on collaboration between teacher education and different stakeholders such as teacher unions. Today the research on teacher induction and mentoring is dominated by research from the US. The NTI-network will promote new research and experienced-based knowledge from the Nordics and engage knowledgebased discussions on how to develop sustainable comprehensive induction and mentoring programmes. By strengthening the Nordic perspective using the Nordic model of collaboration between stakeholders the NTI-network creates different arenas for sharing knowledge, inspiring each other across nations and stakeholders.
