What is Intensive Training and Practice?

Intensive training and practice is a specific and focused element of the teacher training curriculum. It is intended to help consolidate trainees’ knowledge of key evidence-based principles for effective teaching, and to enable them to practice their application and integration into their developing professional practice. The new requirements call for trainees to experience a minimum of 4 weeks (postgraduate ITT ) or 6 weeks (undergraduate ITT ) of ITaP, in addition to the 120 days spent on general school placements.

Trainees engage with ‘near world’ scenarios focusing on foundational aspects of the Core Curriculum.

How does T-ITaP help your organisation?

 T-ITaP courses have been carefully designed and tested to fulfil the ITaP requirements by providing trainees opportunities to engage with authentic, level-specific classroom scenarios, receive tailored feedback from expert teachers and practice what they have learnt through role-plays, teaching demonstrations and more.

T-ITaP courses include 3-4 online, immersive modules, with pre and post activities detailed in each module outline. ITT providers can select as many or as few activities and tasks as suits their program needs. Each course would normally take 3- 4 days and can be scheduled in any way that works. For example, each course could be delivered as an intensive block or once/twice a week over a given term. Trainees could, for example, engage with the first module, then be given opportunities to practice in a school setting before continuing with the course.
