More Than a Teacher
With a career in education, you're more than a teacher. Teaching isn’t just about lessons. It’s about building confidence, opening doors, and helping students move forward... and it's one of the most rewarding careers you could have!
Want to know what it's really like to be a teacher? We asked current teachers from across the North East about their teaching journeys, what inspired them to teach and why they believe they made the right decision for their career.

About Initial Teacher Training
Anyone wishing to teach must complete initial teacher training (ITT). There are various ways you can complete and fund your ITT either as part of your degree, after a degree, at a college or university or through selected teaching schools, like North East SCITT!
School-Centered Training
Our programme will give you the opportunity to learn to teach 'on-the-job'. Unlike traditional teacher training courses, our school-based course will mean that from the outset you are in the classroom, interacting with pupils and teachers and learning first hand the knowledge and skills you'll need to become an outstanding teacher.
