Early Career Teacher Programme with National Institute of Teaching 

The Early Career Teacher programme ensures that new teachers are given the expert support they need to become confident, capable classroom practitioners.

We work as a delivery partner for the National Institute of Teaching to deliver flexible training and relevant support, to help teachers succeed right from the start.

Our programme offers:

• Personalised learning: Our self-directed study materials will help ECTs learn what they need, when they need it. Our curriculum builds on what’s gone before, but reduces repetition from ITT years.
• 1:1 support: Mentors will be able to access relevant training and development to support their ECTs on their learning journey, and will support and guide their ECTs with clear action steps.
• Learning from others: Our local networking sessions allow ECTs and mentors to solve thorny problems together, learning from others on their doorsteps.
• Access to international experts: Our unique in-depth webinars give ECTs and mentors the chance to learn from international experts on behaviour, literacy and formative assessment.

How learning is facilitated:

ECTs will have weekly meetings with a designated mentor. These meetings will involve a cycle of self-study, actions, observations and deliberate practice to set specific action steps, allowing new teachers to build great habits in their teaching. More specifically, ECTs will receive a weekly 15-minute observation, with feedback from their mentor, which will allow ECTs to focus on making small, incremental, manageable improvements to their teaching practice.
