What is this webinar about?

How to prepare student teachers and support them in their first few years in school is a fundamental consideration for education systems around the world. In this webinar we discuss how this is approached in England. Will Grant, Programme Lead for the Post Graduate Certificate in Education (Secondary) at the University of West England, provides an overview of the different routes into teaching in the state system and the typical focus, content and aims of preservice education in England. He discusses, through reference to a specific example, how his institution approaches the development of professional exchange, collegiality and well-being amongst teachers-in-training at this critical stage of their careers. Through this overview and case study Will highlights some of the general challenges facing teacher education in England – challenges shared by many countries across the world in their desire to prepare, support and retain teachers effectively.
