You’ll be known as an early career teacher (ECT) for your first 2 years in teaching. The term early career teacher (ECT) has replaced newly qualified teacher (NQT).

During your 2-year induction, you’ll receive a package of training and support based on the initial teacher training and early career framework (ITTECF). Your package of training and support is referred to as the early career teacher entitlement (ECTE).

The ECTE is designed to help you build the skills and knowledge you need to feel confident and empowered in your classroom. It won’t impact your pay or progression opportunities. You’ll still be able to progress on the pay scale during your induction period.

The Early Career Framework (ECF) reforms our design to ensure that Early Career Teachers develop the skills and confidence they need in order to teach effectively.

The Early Career Framework is the evidence-based framework which underpins this new entitlement for Early Career Teachers. This framework provides the content that all Early Career Teachers should access during the first 2 years of their career through an approach of “learning about and learning how to do”.

The 5 core areas of the ECF are outlined below:

• Behaviour Management
• Pedagogy
• Curriculum
• Assessment
• Professional behaviours

LEARN SEND Hub is delighted to be working with L.E.A.D Teaching School Hub in Lincolnshire to deliver training and support for early career teachers through the full induction programme.
