Routes into Teaching
There a variety of different ways to get into teaching depending upon your circumstances. There is always a way!
Why Choose Active Teacher Training?
Active Teacher Training supports applicants to become the best they can be in the classroom. The vast majority of our Professional Studies programme is delivered by teachers who work in the classroom week in, week out. This means that our trainees receive an offer that is rare in teacher training: sessions that are crafted and delivered by actively practicing teachers. Our aim is to ‘Inspire Futures and Develop Tomorrow.’
We also have some other reasons we think you should choose us:
Inspire the next generation
By becoming a teacher, you'll get job satisfaction that few will experience. Other than parents, teachers have arguably the biggest influence on a young person’s life. The visible results you'll see from pupils are guaranteed to send you home with a sense of pride and achievement. You’ll be placed in the classroom from day one so that you can begin to learn and practice right from the start.
We offer teacher training in a wide range of ages and subjects. There are few who can use their passion in their job. Teachers get to do this every day, with the opportunity to instil this enthusiasm in their pupils. We offer more subjects than many other providers. From English and Maths to Primary, Media, Law, MFL, Drama and more. With Active Teacher Training, you can train in the subject you studied for and that you really want to teach.
Partners
ATT is fully committed to the ideals and principles of school-centred initial teacher training and has the personnel, resources and the will to make teacher training across ATT schools a success.
The main goal of Active Teacher Training is to provide the very best initial teacher training opportunities possible for our trainees. We endeavour to ensure this through celebrating the diversity of the consortium. We have a strong partnership of 4 secondary schools, 17 primary schools and 2 special schools colleges across Suffolk and Cambridge with a number of distinctive features that contribute to diversity and choice for trainees.
The mix of partner schools is varied: ATT can offer trainees a teaching experience in a mixed comprehensive, an 11-18 school, an 11-16 school, a small rural primary or above average size, urban or a special school. The range of subject specialisms found within the Trust is exceptional. In short, ATT is well served by friendly, well equipped schools that offer a wide range of educational experiences and extensively understand the needs of trainee teachers.
