As part of the ECF reforms, early career teachers are now able to receive two years of funded development support and training and access to a mentor who has experience in a similar setting.
We are excited to be working with Arthur Terry Teaching School Hub (ATTSH) as the local provider of our early career framework provision and as our appropriate body. Through ATTSH, we work with Education Development Trust as the national provider. Their programme is built upon a deep knowledge of developing teachers and provides a continuous two-year journey for teachers early in their training and teaching careers.
Education Development Trust (EDT)
Developed with schools, our Early Career Framework materials provide a high-quality, evidence-informed blended learning experience for teachers and their mentors. Each topic includes rich and relevant examples from expert practitioners, accessible insights from research, and frequent opportunities to put knowledge into practice.
ECTs and ECT mentors have access to an online platform that supports the learning journey throughout the Programme, providing a range of self-study materials, videos, webinars, podcasts and blogs.
Early career teachers need time and space to reflect on and challenge their own practice. The EDT Programme is centred around developing the mentor relationship, and includes a carefully constructed programme of webinars, face-to-face training, and self-study activities to support this.
Each of these activities will provide opportunities for ECTs to learn the theory, put the theory into practice, and reflect on personal and professional development with the support of their mentor.
