Becoming a teacher is a career aspiration that many people have, as it offers the rewarding experience of making a positive difference tothe lives of others. Whether you are just finishing at university and starting out on your working life, or have experience in another field and are looking for a change of career, we are always keen to hear from people with a passion for teaching.
CDAT runs its own primary teacher training (ITT) programme, which provides trainees with a heavily school-based training experience and, we believe, gives them the best possible chance to become highly effective, reflective teachers. We partner with Mersey Boroughs ITT to deliver our programme – with most of the training being delivered by teachers from CDAT schools and members of the CDAT school improvement team. If you train with CDAT, you'll benefit from a small, friendly and dedicated team who are here to help you every step of the way. We are also delighted to work with Anglia Ruskin University, who deliver the additional online training needed for the PGCE element of the course.
Other benefits of learning with CDAT include:
As we say – 'train in great schools, learn from brilliant teachers.'
People get into teaching for so many different reasons – often because they've been inspired by a great teacher themselves, or see the rewards of working with children and 'shaping lives'. Many love the fact that, in primary schools, no two days are the same and teachers get to teach a wide range of subjects. Others like the pastoral side of the primary school teachers' job. Teaching also offers the chance to build a rewarding career, with good opportunities for professional development, career progression and a starting salary of £30k+.
