Why is it important to attend an Induction Day?
Whether you are new to teaching or not, moving to England and starting a new job and life is a massive feat and if it was easy everyone would do it. At Point To Point, we recognise that all teachers from all walks of life need to feel supported and nurtured. You are important to us and we offer this day to provide you with another layer of knowledge and support that will help you succeed in your new teaching position and life in England.
Networking with likeminded people, knowing what to expect and how to organise yourself in a way that will make this adventure professionally and personally rewarding.
Having a strong and positive mindset and being surrounded by positive and inspiring people will benefit you in so many ways!
