Vision and Values

“Inspiring tomorrow’s teachers today”

Inspiring tomorrow’s teachers today captures our mission to recruit, train and empower great teachers who are well equipped to meet the demands of the 21st century classroom. Through an ambitious, evidence informed curriculum, trainees will develop as lifelong, reflective practitioners who will improve life chances for all learners. They will promote inclusion, address disadvantage and secure equity of opportunity. By developing high quality teachers, we will transform outcomes and change the lives of children and young people within the communities we serve.

Our Values

Exchange Teacher Training is guided by a clear set of values that drive high-quality professional learning across the partnership. We are aspirational, setting high expectations and embedding a strong culture of continuous improvement. We are credible, engaging with high-performing partner schools to deliver a well-sequenced, evidence-informed training curriculum with sustained impact on trainees’ professional practice and pupils’ learning. We work collaboratively and considerately with partners to provide a coherent training experience that promotes professional behaviours, trainee wellbeing and inclusion. Authentic leadership and effective governance ensure consistency, accountability and shared responsibility across the partnership, enabling trainees to meet the Teachers’ Standards by the end of the programme and make a positive, lasting difference to pupils’ learning and life chances.
