NASUWT – Recently Qualified Teachers

On behalf of the teaching union, NASUWT, Perpetuity carried out a five year longitudinal study of recently qualified teachers supported by a survey of newly qualified teachers to understand their experiences. This report is the final report and looks at the level and impact of poor pupil behaviour, the training and support received by new and recently qualified teachers and the impact of this on teacher confidence and career commitment. The research explored levels of preparedness for teaching following the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS); teachers’ perceptions of, and confidence in, managing pupil behaviour in the classroom; the nature of teachers’ behaviour management strategies and their development over time; and the nature and perceived quality of support available to new and recently qualified teachers on behaviour management matters.
