New framework and handbook published for teacher training inspections

Last week, Ofsted published a new framework and handbook setting out principles, guidance and the main judgements that inspectors will make when inspecting initial teacher education (ITE).

Future inspections will have a greater focus on the substance of the ITE curriculum, and the things that have the most impact on a trainee's education, with less of a focus on outcomes data.
