Training and Development Before teachers start their contract they are required to go on a compulsory training course called TCERT training. This is an induction and orientation course where the newly employed teachers are introduced to the course books and materials they will be using during the course of their employment. They will also have the opportunity to share ideas in workshops and do practice classes to get them warmed up and some initial classroom experience. Teacher development is very important to Aston. During the course of a teachers employment they will have the opportunity to request coaching or observe peer classes to help them improve or develop as teachers.
