| Quote: | ITT providers 'weak' in teaching children to read
Standards for initial teacher training are currently under review. Two weaknesses that have been identified, the consultation said, include for primary teachers, ‘the ability and confidence to teach reading effectively, including using systematic synthetic phonics. Strengthening new teachers’ preparedness to teach reading, including systematic synthetic phonics is one of our fundamental priorities.’
It goes on to say, that since the publication of the Government’s schools White Paper, the Training and Development Agency for Schools has developed and implemented a package of support to improve training in teaching reading, including identifying the best training providers and the features of effective practice in systematic synthetic phonics training, and disseminating this to all providers.
Managing pupil behaviour is the second area in initial teacher training that has been identified as a need for improvement and a similar programme of work with ITT providers as that for phonics has started. |
