Are you ECF Ready? Deadline 1^st September 2021

The Early Career Framework (ECF) is transforming the support and development offer for teachers at the start of their career. From September 2021, all early career teachers will be entitled to an ‘ECF induction’ and will receive development support and training over two years instead of one, with additional funding available to support their time out of the classroom in the second year and a dedicated mentor. Support will be available to mentors, and funding will be provided to cover mentor’s time with the mentee in the second year of teaching.

 

We welcome you and your colleagues to hear more about the Full Induction offer for Early Career Teachers to join our ECF webinar with our national lead provider, Teach First on Wednesday 21^st April, 4:00- 5:00pm. Register here: https://bit.ly/3uL28yr

 

Other services

We will update you as more information becomes available on NPQs, ITT and AB. Our collaborative model supports all current CPD providers to be able to continue their work and to provide a communication channel for you to share opportunities with a wider group.
