Trainee teacher Sam Rowland will be among first to take part in Early Career Teachers, a revolutionary new course designed to help people new to the profession find their feet.
The 34-year-old, who has turned to teaching relatively late in life, will start the Ambition Institute programme in September.
The programme, based on the government’s new Early Career Framework, will be available to newly-qualified teachers in parts of the north of England including Greater Manchester, where Sam lives.
The mother of two said she was “really excited” to go on the course, which she feels very strongly will kick-start her new career and help her to keep getting better as a teacher.
