Response to Ofsted consultation on proposed revisions to the framework for initial teacher education

This is a response to the Ofsted consultation on proposed changes to inspection arrangements and to the ITE framework and ITE inspection handbook.

The proposals include the introduction of a two-stage approach to inspection of the quality of training in ITE partnerships and amendments to the ITE framework and ITE inspection handbook.

In its letter, it is suggested that inspectors should identify and record the extent to which the training has helped the student to become aware of opportunities for their personal, subject-specific professional development and school-based, local, regional or national professional networks.
