Initial Teacher Education (ITE)

Initial Teacher Education (ITE) is the process through which aspiring teachers develop the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to effectively teach students. It typically involves a combination of university coursework, covering educational theories and subject content, along with supervised teaching practice in classrooms. ITE prepares individuals to manage diverse learning environments, assess student progress, and adapt teaching methods. The aim is to ensure new teachers are confident, competent, and ready to support student success from the start of their careers.
