New teachers

The NASUWT runs an annual UK-wide seminar programme for newly qualified teacher members. The free New Teacher Events take place across the UK every July and August.

Following the summer programme, new teachers gather again in November every year to discuss issues emanating from the first term of teaching. This is followed by a seminar the following June to evaluate your first year as a qualified teacher and look forward to the next stage of your career.
