Our Early Career Teacher Programme Offers
Research shows that the first few years of teacher development are the most crucial. That’s why our highly supportive programmes aim to develop knowledge, understanding and confidence, supporting ECTs with a range of practical strategies and techniques to help them to thrive in their first years of teaching and beyond.
The ITTECF (initial teacher training and early career framework) sets out what trainee and early career teachers are entitled to learn about and learn how to do when they start their careers. For early career teachers it underpins an entitlement for two years of professional development after gaining QTS, designed to help develop their practice, knowledge and working habits. If you are employing an early career teacher, you must provide them with a two-year induction programme as part of their early career teacher entitlement (ECTE).
We are delighted to share our three high-quality options for delivering the ECT Programme, ensuring your early career teachers receive the best possible support and development.

The Three Rivers Teaching School is partnered with both Ambition Institute and the National Institute of Teaching to deliver programmes that are designed to support early career teachers and their mentors to embed the necessary standards of classroom practice, described in the framework.
