Teachers deserve high-quality support throughout their careers, particularly in those first years after ITT when the learning curve is steepest.

The Early Career Framework (ECF) reforms entitle all early career teachers to a funded, two-year package of structured training and support linked to the best available research evidence. To compliment this provision, ECTs will also have access to a mentor who has experience in a similar setting. Such mentors will be provided with on-going training enabling them to provide a provision which will enable immediate, actionable strategies that can be used in the classroom.

To this end, we are excited to be working as a Delivery Partner for Best Practice Network. The balance between online learning resources, conferences with detailed development on instructional coaching and half-termly training sessions mean ECTs receive a robust training package that facilitates genuine professional and personal flourishment.
