Letter to My NQT Self

To all the wonderful early career teachers in our sector…
You have entered a career in which you are paid to transform the lives of the most incredible children. What a privilege! You are so determined to make a difference and the education sector is full of inspiring colleagues who will guide and support you along the way. Every school has them. Every school needs them. In this book we introduce you to some of them.
Written by the Academy Transformation Trust family and friends, this book is a collection of letters by teachers to their ‘NQT self.’ In their letters, teachers recount tales of successes and challenges in their first year of teaching, offering practical tips to support you to thrive in your early years of teaching.
We hope you enjoy the book as much as we enjoyed writing it. Enjoy embarking on a journey of lifelong learning whilst serving the learning of others.
From the Academy Transformation Trust family and friends.
