The National Association of School-Based Teacher Trainers (NASBTT) is a registered charity committed to promoting high-quality schools-led programmes of training, education and professional development of teachers.
ABOUT US
NASBTT is the voice of schools-led initial teacher training and represents our Members’ interests, ensuring that sector views are shared in order to inform future policy decisions. Our representation and advocacy work is informed through consultation with our Members and by key priorities for the sector which have included the market review/future of school-based ITT, curriculum design and assessment, mentor development, Early Career Framework/ECT support, NPQs, subject knowledge enhancement, mental health and wellbeing, diversity and inclusion and SEND.
Our Members include School Centred Initial Teacher Training providers (SCITTs), HEIs, Teaching School Hubs and other organisations engaged in the education and professional development of teachers.
NASBTT's CEO Emma Hollis is a respected voice on ITT at national and regional levels. Emma attends ministerial briefings and regular meetings with DfE representatives and other key stakeholders. Emma's advocacy work has resulted in influence and impact on government policy. In addition, Emma and NASBTT representatives feature in education sector media and regularly contribute at national education events, conferences and workshops.
Our regular surveys give Members the opportunity to share their views and insights on policy developments and the latest on-the-ground issues, challenges and opportunities facing the ITT sector.
As part of our ‘Member Voice’ series, Members and their trainees have the opportunity to contribute their insights and learnings. Case studies and insights highlighting individual organisation view points and approaches are a regular feature at NASBTT events, where we also encourage and facilitate networking, collaboration and sharing of best practice across the sector.
In addition to representation, NASBTT provides Members with access to an extensive range of resources, publications and services to support the management and delivery of initial teacher training. Members can access personalised support, advice and guidance, events, training and tailored CPD.
