About to become an NQT? Here’s everything you’ll need to prepare for your new class!

After getting an ask about what to prepare for starting as an NQT, I thought I’d make a detailed starter pack/list of all the things you will need to successfully start the year in an organised way!

(Disclaimer: I have undoubtedly missed off a few things, but this is everything I used to start the year off with and I’ve been okay so far!)

Transition days - If your school is organising a transition day/afternoon then I strongly recommend attending. This will give you a great first introdcution to your class as well as a feel for your classroom and the school routine in general. Make sure you have some exciting transition activities too (here’s a link to what I did with my new class). If possible, ask to come in for additional days before the summer holidays to get to know the children, staff and general day to day routines of your new work place, it’ll help hugely for September. (I went in and sat at the back of the class making resources all day and supporting group work, it was so useful).

Class list and handover day - Get a class list as soon as you can so you can get learning names of all your children. They’ll be with you for at least a year so it’s essential to learn them all by the end of the first day, if not the second day of term. Try to get copies of recent assessments or assessment results too so you can determine the spread of abilities in your class too. Some school have an official ‘handover’ day or afternoon where the current class teacher cn discuss with you everything you need to know about the children you’ll be teaching and  ‘hands over’ all their classes results, groupings, files and other information about the children.

Classroom preparation - If you can come in over the summer, or early September, then do so to prepare your classroom. You’ll need to back displays, get working walls up and running, sort out pencil pots/staitionary, organise provision areas (reception/KS1), make classroom labels, create peg and draw labels for children, noticeboards will need filling, resources will need laminating - as well as plenty more bits to prepare!

Classroom organisation - This relates more to how you want your classroom to work, how to set your tables out (rows or grouped, horseshoe or islands etc),  to have or not to have a carpet area, areas of continuous provision, where to keep books, where your desk will go, places for children’s things (drawers, trays, fruit/water area etc..). Play around with the structure/furniture of the classroom as much as you are able to, you need to be teaching in a space that works for you :)

Teaching file - Buy yourself a nice, shiny teaching file (with plenty of dividers) ready for the start of the year. Start filling it with any class information, school information, assessment results and policies before the school year starts.

Assessment file - Have a seperate assessment file for all your class’s results. Divide it by pupil so that you have a section for each child’s results/examples of work. If you have any previous assessment results for your class, add these too as a year starting point.

Year long plans and curriculum - Check if your school has a curriculum/year/two year rolling long plan for you to follow. If they do, then use this to base your planning and topics off of. If not, then print off the relevent pages of the National Curriculum and highlight roughly which bits you plan on teaching in Autumn, Spring and Summer terms, to ensure you cover everything over the year.

Schemes and resources - Find out if your school plans from/uses any schemes (My school use Hamilton Trust and Mathletics a lot). This will save you a lot of time if you have these schemes ready to hand!

Medium term plans - Create your medium term plans from all the resources you have gathered so far. Or if you work in a school with 2 or more form entry, ask your collegues in the same year group whether you can split the planning and plan half the topics between you to save on paperwork!

School and exam policies - Not fun to read, but familirize yourself with school policies (and SATs ones if you teach years 2 or 6) to get a feel for the sort of school you are in. Definitely read the teaching and learning, curriculum, marking and feedback and behaviour policy as soon as you can as these will impact on daily teaching from the word go.

Behaviour management systems - Most schools these days have a policy that runs throughout school. Make sure you know it inside-out and it is clearly displayed in the classroom.

School familiarisation - I work in a tiny school, but even so, I am always finding new spaces, new places where resources are kept and more interesting things in the back of my predecessors cupboard! Make sure you know where things are kept in school and get familiar with the outdoor spaces, everyone’s classroooms, the hall and basically the entire building as soon as you can.

Tidying and new equipment - There will always be things in your new classroom to tidy, my predecessor left me a whole cupboard full of files which I am still sorting out! Whilst cleaners will clean, you will need to tidy the classroom and sort out any larger items that need throwing out or replacing. Before you start the year is a good time to get requests in for new equipment too.

Fun things! - Always plan for some fun things to do in your first few days of term. Whether it’s buying a class mascot soft toy for the children to bond with or getting heaps of stickers in to reward children with, make preparing for your new class fun :D

DON’T PANIC if you can’t do/get hold of everything on this list straight away! Most things can wait until summer term has finished and you may well have to wait until September inset days to be fully prepared.

If you have survived collecting all of this information (there was more to write about than I originally thought), here’s a list of all the useful blog posts I’ve previously written that will get your NQT year off to a flying start:

Essential stationary for any teacher

What’s in my teaching bag/s

Tips for making marking quicker

NQT advice and tips

5 Things I learnt as an NQT

How I plan now I’m an RQT

Reflecting after a day’s teaching

Strategies to help deal with parents

Also here’s a link to a post about classroom procedures whichyou may want to discuss with your new class on their first day. (it’s very long and ery American but has lots of good ideas you might like to borrow for your own classroom procedures).

Best of luck to all trainees who are very nearly NQTs, not long until you’re all qualified and finished with training!

Curriculum Building: Every step matters; know your place; make it count.

Image: Beirut Terraces / Herzog & de Meuron  

In the last few weeks I’ve had a lot of conversations with teachers and leaders in schools in challenging circumstances at both primary and secondary.  A common experience has been the difficult process of trying to build a coherent curriculum in a context of staff turbulence, curriculum reform and recruitment challenges. I’ve also worked with maths and English teachers in FE who are essentially picking up the pieces after years of things not working out for their students.

Even when things are going in your favour in a stable school with high-functioning departments, it’s a challenge to construct a well-designed curriculum that flows upwards with students as they grow up and mature, building on what has gone before at the optimum pace to balance breadth and depth, the reinforcement of prior learning with the exploration of new ideas, concepts and skills.  Obviously enough, at each stage, if the foundations laid in the preceding stage are weak, then it’s hard to continue the building process.  The image above captures this beautifully: every floor relies on the strength of the one below: the whole structure is the sum of each level of sub-structure with some pillars being absolutely vital; others providing reinforcement.

It’s a fairly common teacher-tick to bemoan the failings of new students when you first meet them, the presumption being that they should have learned more than they have by the time they get to you.  Year 6 teachers are frustrated by how much catching up there is to in the final high-pressure SATS year; Year 7 teachers can be disdainful at the level of knowledge their new students have; GCSE teachers express frustration that KS3 didn’t provide a more secure platform.  Where teacher supply and quality and confidence is variable, it’s a brave school leader who deploys the strongest teachers in the younger foundation years rather than the older examination years.  The short-term almost always wins over the long-term when the pressure is on – even if this is counterintuitive and counterproductive.

In my experience (parent, teacher, leader, observer), it is certainly true that Years 3-5 are far less intense than Year 6; Years 7-9 are far less intense than Year 10 or Year 11.  There’s always a lot left to do in those final years.  However, in the ideal scenario, the pacing, pitch and challenge of those years should be such that there is a smooth transition into Year 6 or Year 11.  There is a lot to get right at every stage but it’s not helpful only to address learning with real intensity and urgency when the stakes are highest.

One important example is the development of writing.  I supported a primary leadership team recently in looking at their whole-school approach to writing.  There’s so much to get right at the level of school policy and the implementation by teachers:   The development of mark-making and letter formation alongside phonics in Reception – where children already have different starting points.  There’s the introduction of jointed-up writing in Year 1 moving into fully fluent writing by Year 2. It’s  an amazing transition from age 4 to age 6.  At KS2, there’s a need to map out a coherent journey with developing vocabulary and spelling, exploring multiple genres and building confidence with technical grammar structures – fronted adverbials and the like.

It strikes me that Year 3 and Year 4 should be the engine room of rapid progression with writing – but this relies on each teacher knowing where they fit into the whole progression map; knowing how much needs to be done overall and where the gaps are likely to be from KS1.  If curriculum progression from Year 1 to Year 4 is optimised, teachers need a really good understanding of what excellence in writing should look like so that they can push, stretch, support and consolidate to the right degree, with the right pace and urgency.

  The situation is exactly parallel in Secondary English departments. For students to succeed in English GCSE, they need not only to have strong knowledge and skill with writing, they need to be able to plan and deliver their writing incredibly efficiently: a GCSE exam is an almighty time management challenge with a great deal of writing stamina required.  Students need to think about the content of their writing – what they want to say – and that is hard enough for some.  But then there is the structure of writing – how to build an argument; the language they use – using words and phrases for effect; they need to consider audience and purpose, developing their capacity to be ‘convincing’ and ‘perceptive’ – nebulous terms that need to find form in what they produce.  And all of this needs to be done sharply in tight time limits.  It’s a huge challenge – especially where teachers have come and gone over the years – especially if you want it to be based on solid knowledge and understanding and not a collection of superficial tricks and tips.

There is no way you can turn all of this on in Year 11 – or even in Year 10.   A good secondary English curriculum will enable students to build content, structure, stamina, pace, language, writing for purpose from the very beginning.  The range of experiences at KS3 need to be broad and knowledge-rich so that students have a wide set of references to draw on when they get into the narrower, more intense GCSE curriculum.  Again it will be important for teachers to know what the standards are; to know how high to pitch at every stage.

With this in mind it seems so important that all teachers know where their piece of the structure fits into the whole.  There needs to be agreed protocols for developing hand-writing, spelling, use of language, for exploring genres in a sensible sequence, for building pace and stamina as well as accuracy and ‘perceptiveness’.  Any new teacher or temporary teacher needs to know this more than anyone else.   And teacher autonomy? Well, that’s nice to have but it can’t mean that teachers all go off on tangents that do not support the long-term curriculum planning.   If joined up writing starts in Year 1, it had better continue in Year 2.  If genre X is supposed to be covered in Year 7 as part of the overall structure then you can’t simply leave it out because you don’t fancy it – that’s your bit of the structure.  And Year 3  or Year 8 are not cosy wilderness years where you plod along.  They should be just as purposeful as Year 6 and Year 11.

This all applies to other curriculum areas too.  It matters that students learn about particles in science before they start trying to explain chemical reactions – whatever Steve the bossy Technician might say about his trays of apparatus.  The sequence of topics in maths matters; the pace and sequence of learning and the knowledge content matters – in history, languages, art, geography.

Obviously if you have been around to design the structure in the first place you are more likely to be committed to it.  But, I would argue that there needs to be very good reason to change the overall plan once it has been agreed.   And, to restate a key factor, a strong shared understanding of what excellence should look like at every stage is essential to guide the pace and drive at every level.  The curriculum is the whole thing – not just our piece.  We need to know our place and make it really count.

Week 2

In the second week of work experience, this is when I started official work with the company at the different schools. I arrived at Kennington Road Primary School ready to teach whatever was put in front of me but I knew it was going to be Year 2’s and Year 1’s, At Winmarleigh Primary School I would be teaching the whole school at once as its only a 26 Pupil school and at Partinginton I would be teaching year 3’s and year 6’sand this term I would be teaching all of the classes Invasion games, the teachers asked me to teach the invasion games as it would allow for the children to improve their Fundamental skills which would be running, jumping and any sort of movement. The invasion games would also allow them to get an understanding of space and when to attack it and find it at the best times.

 This week I had to overcome my nerves about teaching and speaking out load, also being able to communicate with the teachers and students at the various schools. Also in all of the classes I had no SEN so I didn’t have to plan for the session to include easier progressions. But the worst problem was teaching the whole of Winmarleigh together as this meant that I would have a class ranging from Reception to Year 6 and I would have to sort out reasonable progressions so it wasn’t to hard for the Receptions and not to Easy for the Year 6’s. I overcame this by looking at the plans and making sure I did a mix of games from the ks2 session plan and the ks1 session plan, I found this was a solution as all children enjoyed the sessions.

Also I would have to plan for Kennington Road Primary school and Winmarleigh as I would be the main coach within these schools and I would have to take charge of the sessions with an assistant.
