About the ECF Programme for Early Career Teachers
The Five Counties Teaching School Hubs Alliance is working with Ambition Institute to deliver the full ECF Induction Programme. The programme is free for all state funded schools in the Five Counties Hub region. The full ECF programme takes 24 months to complete. During this time ECTs will receive the following:
- 3 full–day conferences (focused on deepening the understanding of how pupils learn, the principles of responsive teaching, and effective implementation).
- 6 one-hour virtual after-school clinics to support strategies for classroom practice, based on study materials and key areas from the Early Career Framework.
- Weekly modules of online learning. Self-study modules help early career teachers engage with the latest research and ideas for practical classroom implementation in a manageable and accessible way.
- Weekly instructional coaching sessions designed to support early career teachers to apply insights from the study materials into their classroom practice. Mentors provide teachers with a specific, bite-sized action step to practice each week that responds to their own classroom context and practice.
Mentors will receive:
- 2 full day conferences to deepen their understanding of instructional coaching and the ECF.
- 3 one hour virtual after-school clinics to deepen understanding and network with other mentors.
- Opportunities for 1:1 support with a coach.
