What will I get from the Induction year?

There's a lot on offer, including:

• A salary of £20,427 from April 2008
• A maximum class commitment of 0.7 of a fully registered teachers' time, with time set aside for professional development
• An experienced teacher as a mentor
• The chance to reach the GTCS Standard for Full Registration in one school year

Can I choose where I do my Induction year?

The scheme allows you to choose five Scottish local authorities that you'd be willing to work in for in your Induction year. At the same time, local authorities work out the number of posts they have for probationer teachers.

The selection process then chooses students at random and allocates them to teaching posts, starting with your first preference local authority. Unfortunately, your personal circumstances won't be taken into account during the process.
