Early Career Teachers
The ITTECF (initial teacher training and early career framework) sets out what trainee and early career teachers are entitled to learn about and learn how to do when they start their careers. It underpins an entitlement for two years of professional development after gaining QTS, designed to help early career teachers develop their practice, knowledge and working habits. If you are employing an early career teacher, you must provide them with a two-year induction programme, known as the early career teacher entitlement (ECTE).
The Julian Teaching School Hub partners with Ambition Institute to deliver the Early Career Training Programme (ECTP) that builds on the thinking behind the Early Career Framework. We are also able to act as your appropriate body (AB).
Ambition Institute is an experienced provider of ECT induction, working with 30,000 early career teachers and mentors. They are committed to helping schools tackle educational disadvantage and do so by offering evidence-informed programmes that are backed by teachers and school leaders across the UK.
Why this programme?
The ECTP is an induction course tailored to the needs of early career teachers, using an evidence-informed, bite-sized curriculum. It equips your teachers with the knowledge they need to make a real impact over the course of their careers.
