News: Rotherham Ready to help new teachers
Rotherham Ready has developed a new programme to equip trainee teachers to develop enterprise through the curriculum from the start of their careers.
The innovative enterprise education project has received funding from the European Regional Development Fund to work with Sheffield Hallam University to develop training modules that introduce early years, primary and secondary teachers to enterprise while they are still studying.
45 primary teachers and 72 secondary trainee teachers from Sheffield Hallam University have taken part in new "enterprise teaching and learning enhancements" where they learn how to develop enterprise through the curriculum.
Catherine Brentnall, Rotherham Ready Project Officer, said: "We are delighted about the funding from ERDF which will enable us to continue and develop innovative ways of creating a culture of enterprise in education. The "Inspire ITT" programme we have developed and piloted at Sheffield Hallam University means that we can instil enterprise into the minds of new teachers and switch them on to its impact at the start of their careers.
"We have been working for the last four years to create an enterprising culture in Rotherham and the town is now internationally recognised as a Centre of Excellence for its enterprise teaching and learning. The funding means that we can strategically embed enterprise into the fabric of what teachers learn beyond the borough now too.
"It is really exciting that once qualified, these teachers will be taking their enterprise skills and enthusiasm across the country. So while the idea was born in Rotherham and the teacher training students will visit Rotherham Schools to see enterprising work in action, the outcome will be that they will then be educating children across Great Britain and helping to foster an enterprising culture for the future."
