How many pieces of evidence do I need for each Teachers’ Standard?
You will need to meet each bullet point in each Teachers’ Standard to pass induction. There is no prescribed number of pieces of evidence or examples needed, but your induction tutor will need to be assured that you are meeting the Teachers’ Standards ‘consistently and independently’. As a minimum, the Hampshire Assure Induction team would expect there to be at least 2 or 3 examples of meeting each bullet point by the end of the final term.

What documentation do I need to keep?
The contents of your portfolio should be discussed between you and your induction tutor – each school may have different requirements. As a minimum, however, you should retain and keep up to date:
• Lesson Observation feedback forms
• Lesson Observation self-evaluation forms
• Professional Development Plan
• Record of Evidence (Evidence Tracker)
You may want to store these in hard-copy or electronically – it doesn’t matter as long as they are accessible if needed and are signed/verified and dated.

What should my Induction Tutor be doing?
Your Induction Tutor is there to provide support or co-ordinate support for you throughout your Induction, and to evaluate your progress against the Teachers’ Standards and write your end of term assessments.
Online Tutor training is available, as well as the Induction Handbook for ECTs and schools.

Who should we contact if we’re stuck and our Tutor can’t help?
There may be other members of staff that you can ask for help in your school (members of the SLT, subject co-ordinators, or other ECTs), or staff in neighbouring or partnering schools, or subject/general inspectors in the County’s school inspectorate team.
The Hampshire Assure Induction team is also there to help – you can raise a ‘Helpdesk query’ via ECT Manager, orr email [email protected].
