The NQT Support Programme aims to provide high quality support and development for those
starting their teaching career. This will be achieved through an inspiring approach, which is
facilitated by Headteachers and Specialist Leaders of Education within North Star Teaching School
Alliance. The course is rooted in a drive to develop outstanding practitioners for the benefit of
children in North Star Schools. In addition, the programme aims to embed a commitment to
Continuing Professional Development in NQTs, promoting the ethos of responsibility for their own
development. The programme was extremely successful in previous years, with 100% of delegates
giving positive feedback:
“I will be happier so more effective teaching”
“The flexible approach made it feel relevant and really useful”
“It has helped me take a step back and think about things.”
“Nice to share with other NQTs in the same boat – felt really supported…”

In light of the 2018-2019 EYFS pilot, the publication Bold Beginnings and the possible future reduction of ELG in mathematics, this course seeks to show how to promote the thinking of young children in the Early Years Foundation Stage and develop a feel for number. During the afternoon, delegates will think about how they can start to draw out maths related concepts across a variety of common EYFS themes.
Delegates will also have the opportunity to experience a variety of activities and ideas that can be immediately used at school the next day and explore new number related books and resources to use to aid planning.
This is an active and hands on course. It is advisable to bring an iPad or camera phone with you to capture the various models and images and a memory stick should you require any bespoke electronic resources on the day from Liz.
At the end of the course, a pack of resources, including a pdf copy of the powerpoint mini slides handout will be available to download from www.dropbox.com
