WHAT IS THE EARLY CAREER FRAMEWORK? 

 

The Early Career Framework (ECF) underpins an entitlement to a fully funded, two-year package of structured training and support for early career teachers linked to the best available research evidence.  The package of reforms will ensure new teachers have dedicated time set aside to focus on their development.  It will give Early Career teachers confidence and support to develop as a teacher.  The ECF builds on the knowledge and support given during ITT and is underpinned by key reading and theories to develop an ECT’s pedagogy.   

 

As an approved delivery partner for the ECF, Sacred Heart via UCL will provide your ECT with:  

 

Access to weekly reading and discussion activities  

Online facilitation sessions  

Mentor meetings 

 

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR SCHOOL FOR SEPTEMBER:
 

Contact Sacred Heart to register ECTs and mentors at ecframework@shhs.org.uk 

Assign your ECT a mentor. For secondary schools it would be useful if this is within their subject area.  

Assign an Induction Lead for your school.  Your Induction Lead should sign up and complete this free online course: https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/early-career-teacher-induction-getting-ready-for-the-early-career-framework-england-/1 

Your ECT, Mentor and Induction Lead can expect to receive an email from UCL with login details for the UCLeXtend platform.  It would be useful if they could get logged on and have a look around the platform.
