Content of the Induction Profile

The Induction Profile consists of four sections Section 1: Personal details Section 2: Induction Priorities Section 2A: Planning Section 2B: Progress reviews First progress review Second progress review Third progress review and school’s summative assessment Section 3: Evidence of meeting the Practising Teacher Standards (PTS) Section 4: Record of the induction period

Completing the Induction Profile NQTs on permanent or long term temporary contracts

Completing the Induction Profile is a collaborative process involving the school based mentor and the NQT, it may also involve evidence from the external mentor.

The NQT has the responsibility for completing Sections 1, 3 and 4. The school based mentor has the responsibility for completing Section 2 for NQTs on permanent or temporary contracts.

The school-based mentor will work with the NQT to ensure the Induction Profile is completed to a satisfactory standard. The external mentor will provide advice and support on the completion of Section 3.

The four sections will form the complete Induction Profile by the end of the induction period. It is suggested that copies of each section should be kept by the school-based mentor, the NQT and the external mentor.
