Great teachers continuously improve over time, benefiting from the mentoring of expert colleagues and a structured introduction to the core body of knowledge, skills and behaviours that define great teaching. Teachers deserve high-quality support throughout their careers, particularly in those first years after Initial Teacher Education when the learning curve is steepest.
The Early Career Framework (ECF) reforms entitle all early career teachers to a fully-funded, two-year package of structured training and support, linked to the best available research evidence.
Manor Teaching School Hub has chosen to work with Ambition Institute, one of 6 providers accredited by the DfE, who have designed a comprehensive programme of face-to-face and online training for early career teachers and their mentors.
Learning about and learning how to do, it includes sections on:
-
Behaviour Management
-
Pedagogy
-
The Curriculum
-
Assessment
-
Professional Behaviours
Early Career Teachers following the Full Induction Programme will be provided the following support:
-
A two-year package of funded, high-quality training.
-
A dedicated school-based Mentor; support for these mentors includes access to funded, high-quality training from Ambition Institute.
-
Funding in the second year so schools can support Early Career Teachers to spend time away from the classroom for extra professional development and mentoring.
-
Funding to cover mentors’ time with the Early Career Teacher in the second year of teaching.
Early Career Teachers will continue to be assessed against the Teachers’ Standards with an Appropriate Body
