Want a job? We need D&T teachers!, The most important educational resource of all is a supply of dedicated, highly skilled, motivated and committed teachers. This is never more the case than when it comes to the teaching design and technology in secondary schools. Yet we are possibly approaching what could well be a national recruitment crisis. For the second year running, teacher training recruitment is showing signs of falling well below target. (Last year less than half the places for initial teacher training in D&T were filled.) Training institutions are once again predicting short falls, which in...
