Course content

Colchester Teacher Training Consortium (CTTC) provides new teachers entering the profession with the evidence-based knowledge and skills they need to become exceptional, critically reflective practitioners through a curriculum that reflects the principles of effective teacher professional development.

The scope of the curriculum ensures that theory and practice are developed side by side with expert input used to develop trainees’ knowledge and to ensure full coverage of the ITT Core Content Framework and beyond.
