Things to prepare the Summer before your first year of teaching | NQT Tips & Advice

Something that I wondered as an NQT/that I get asked about regularly is what to prepare over the summer before starting the school year! So I decided to make this video to help give some ideas of the kinds of things you can do to get organised for the year ahead:

1. Get to know your school & surrounding areas
2. Read transition information & speak to pupils’ previous teacher/s
3. Be aware of probationer expectations & paperwork
4. Build a strong support system & network
5. Plan your classroom layout / things to buy
6. Create a clear filing system for resources
7. Prepare displays
8. Create teaching social media accounts
9. Prepare resources (morning challenges, fast finisher activities, concrete resources)
10. Planning the first day/week of school
11. Getting to know you activities to prepare
12. Getting in the right mindset
