University of Reading to host major new Train to Teach event for Department for Education (DfE)

On 2 November from 4.30 to 8pm, the Institute of Education at Reading will host a free Train to Teach Roadshow in conjunction with the DfE and the National College of Teaching and Leadership (NCTL). The roadshow is set to provide a wealth of information on how to get into teaching and how to apply for training courses

David Kerr, Reading’s Head of Initial Teacher Training (ITT) said:

Events like this boost recruitment of future teachers for schools across the Thames Valley and wider area at a time of challenging recruitment for local schools. This is a golden opportunity for those interested in teaching to meet all local training providers, including the leading teacher training institute in the area: the Institute of Education at Reading. We are ranked third in the UK for teacher training by the Guardian rankings 2018.”
