An Introduction to the Early Career Framework

Your second session will focus on bridging the gap from ITT to ECT, to ensure that you are ready for your first week and beyond in the classroom and understand the support and development that you will receive through the ECF programme.

Our afternoon programme...

The afternoon gives you an opportunity to select from a range of workshops, which will be delivered by expertise from across our schools, sharing their 'top tips' for making your first year a success, including an opportunity for Q&A with current ECTs in years 1 & 2 of the ECF.
