Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
NQT job satisfaction measured using a short online survey in the summer term of the NQT year

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The following secondary outcome measures will be measured by matching the NQTs to the School Workforce Census for the three years following their NQT year: 1. NQT retention in the profession - whether the NQT remains in the teaching profession in the state sector 2. NQT retention in school - whether the NQT remains in the same school as they were for their NQT year
