The Future Teaching Scholars (FTS) team welcomed its Year 4 Scholars to the annual ITT (Initial Teacher Training) National Conference, in Birmingham at the Crowne Plaza NEC Hotel.

Teachers learn an enormous amount in the first few years of their career – everything from how to deliver the curriculum and commanding a classroom, to multi-tasking and organisational skills. But one thing that a teacher often has to discover for themselves is how best to utilise their time off.

During the summer break, Future Teaching Scholars hosted the Summer Scholar to Scholar virtual event.

Last month, our very first cohort of Scholars that joined Future Teaching Scholars in 2016 graduated from the programme.

Last month, Future Teaching Scholars hosted its first Scholar to Scholar event of the year which was hosted virtually.

Last week, Ofqual announced a package of support for students taking GCSE examinations this summer across all subjects, including maths and physics.

In December, the Future Teaching Scholars team welcomed Scholars in Years 4, 5 and 6 of the programme to our annual National Conference.

This month, Future Teaching Scholars hosted its biannual Scholar to Scholar event virtually. The Scholar to Scholar events provide an opportunity for those who have just started their Initial Teacher Training (ITT) year to hear directly from some of our Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) Scholars about their experiences in the classroom.

This month, the Future Teaching Scholars National Conference for Scholars in years 1 to 3 of the programme returned to live event format at the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham.

Scholar Maddy Anderson recently completed her research paper on the impact of maths anxiety as part of her final year project of her degree course. Maddy shares key parts of her research and findings below as well as suggestions for teaching practice to reduce maths anxiety in pupils.

In recent months we have asked several Scholars about their experiences of teaching and working in school during the pandemic.
