EAS (LA) Role
“The appropriate body has the overall statutory
responsibility for the supervision and training for all
NQTs and for making the final decision at the end of
the induction period as to whether the NQT has
passed, failed, or requires an extension to their
induction.
In SE Wales, the 5 LAs have delegated the
responsibility for the day to day management of
Induction to the EAS.

Short Term Supply (STS) NQTs
Significant changes from September 2012
• STS teachers can undertake induction a session at a time
• What is a “Session”? – defined by ‘pupil attendance’
• Must be the ‘specified work of a teacher’, so cover supervision
does not count.
• ALL sessions must count, but you do need to ‘log’ them in 2 ways
(more later)
• If you are employed for a contract of more than 10 days, then
schools ADVISED to register you as under their support
• External mentors (EM) allocated after 180 sessions (more later)
• STS need to signpost evidence against each of the 55 areas of the
practicing teacher standard. NO prescribed ‘Portfolio’ but an
Induction Profile to log evidence against. (more later on collecting
evidence).

GTCW Web System
NQTs should also maintain evidence of the number of sessions completed
towards induction in their induction profile.
Access to important information during induction
As set out in the Welsh Government guidance there are a number of parties involved
in the teacher’s induction. These parties will need to view and exchange specific
information in relation to the teacher’s programme. The information will include the
NQT’s induction employment details and the number of induction sessions
completed.
GTCW has developed a web based system which will enable the collation of this
information and minimise duplication and bureaucracy for all involved. The NQT, and
the NQT’s school, External Mentor and Appropriate Body, will, with the appropriate
authorisation, be given secure access to this system to view and update as
necessary.
GTCW will provide details of how to access this system within the written
acknowledgement to the NQT following receipt of the initial induction notification.

EVIDENCE of
meeting PTS
Section 3 – Documenting Evidence
This section records evidence of how you meet each of the
PTS.
Against each standard you should indicate the evidence that
exists of how you have met the standard. Entries should be
brief and may signpost to where the evidence exists.
The record should be progressively completed throughout
your induction period so that evidence is recorded as it occurs.
You may update your evidence at any time if, for example, you
wish to refer to evidence that you consider to be stronger than
that previously recorded.
Section 3 – Documenting Evidence
EM Role for STS (Induction)
• Will both support and evaluate through
– Visit to advise on collection of final evidence
– Visit for a lesson observation with agreed criteria
and feedback, based on progress towards meeting
the PTS
• Make a recommendation to LA (EAS) on
whether you meet the PTS and should pass
your NQT year.
