Early Career Framework (ECF)
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, which commenced in Sept 2021, entitle all early career teachers to a fully-funded, two-year package of structured training and support, linked to the best available research evidence.

Since the ECF is an entitlement for all early career teachers, schools need to provide access to all of the learning within the Early Career Framework. There are alternatives to undertaking this with your local Teaching School Hub.
If you would like to talk further about your options; or how at Manor Teaching School Hub we can provide you with a local, high-quality delivery of this programme please email info@manorteachingschoolhub.com.
