Important announcement

Unforeseen operational resource challenges over the weekend mean that our food waste collection service is suspended today, Monday 3 November.

If your food waste bin was due to be emptied today, please take in your bin and present on the next collection day, Monday 10 November.

Green bin collections in a small number of streets in the Lenzie, Kirkintilloch and Bearsden area are also affected. If your green bin has not been emptied today, please leave it on the kerbside for collection tomorrow, Tuesday 4 November.

Our teams will be working hard to minimise the impact, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    Newly qualified teacher information

    Newly Qualified Teachers in East Dunbartonshire.

    Under the terms of the McCrone Agreement, 'A Teaching Profession for the 21st Century', newly qualified teachers are given a guaranteed one year training position within the Council. During this year, the newly qualified teachers must demonstrate their ability to meet the requirements of the General Teaching Council's Standard for Full Registration.

    Newly qualified teachers have a reduced teaching commitment of 0.8 and participate in an induction programme, organised by the Council.

    As part of the induction programme, newly qualified teachers meet regularly for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). This covers topics such as:

    • Classroom organisation and management
    • Behaviour management
    • Additional support needs legislation and racial equality legislation.

    Self evaluation, reflection and communication are integral to all CPD.

    An essential part of the induction year is the support provided to newly qualified teachers by experienced members of staff within the schools. Each newly qualified teacher will have a designated member of the teaching staff who will act as their supporter throughout the year.  

    The Newly Qualified Teacher Coordinator is a member of the Council's Education Quality & Development Team, based in Southbank House, Kirkintilloch.

    For further information about the Newly Qualified Teachers' Induction, visit the General Teaching Council (GTC) website.
