Description

The ITT Reform Programme aims to ensure that there are enough, well-prepared, well trained, and confident newly qualified teachers in the system. Central to this is ensuring that initial teacher training (ITT) is of the highest possible quality. The ITT Reform Programme is at the forefront of delivering significant reforms to raise the standard of ITT provision in England and plays a key role in managing standards through regulatory measures.

A new and flexible pool of ITT Market Quality Associates is required to help support the ITT market as we progress through this re-shaping of the ITT market. Associates will play a key role in delivering DfE's ITT policy ambition, providing expertise and assurance that the new ITT market has high-quality design, content, and delivery in line with the ITT Core Content Framework and new quality requirements. They will also support the anticipated closure of a number of providers, ensuring smooth market exit and transfer of trainees to other providers.
