Early Career Framework


We deliver the Early Career Framework (ECF) across Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands, in partnership with Education Development Trust (EDT).

We believe the first years of a teacher’s career are vitally important for professional development and the best time to develop good habits and effective teaching strategies.  We are therefore highly committed to ensuring that all new teachers receive the best possible support, opportunities and development during their induction period.

The ECT is a national statutory programme that provides teachers with the essential specialist support they need to improve their practice and build confidence  in the first two years of their profession.  It arms them with skills they can use in the classroom straight away and offers the structured support needed to help them be the best teachers they can be.

Our Offer


We deliver the ECF through a combination of online self study courses, webinars and face-to-face events throughout the two years.
Lead Provider: Education Development Trust (EDT)

Funding


For those eligible for the fully funded route, the training is free of charge. Payment is made at the end of induction to cover the release time for mentors and ECTs to complete their training.

If your school is not following the fully funded route, you can access ECF materials to deliver your own. This is subject to fidelity checks by your Appropriate Body.
