The Ofsted report recently released rates the quality of the 香港六合彩-led Early Career Framework (ECF) programme鈥檚 professional development and training as outstanding. It also rates the programme鈥檚 leadership and management on the same level.听

In 2021 the DfE appointed IOE, 香港六合彩's Faculty of Education and Society,听as a lead provider of the ECF. As one of six lead providers, IOE works with 21 teaching school hubs and other delivery partners across England to deliver the ECF programmes. 听

Now in its second year of delivery, IOE is helping over 11,200 early career teachers听to develop evidence-informed teaching practice that leads to high-quality pupil learning through the ECF. These teachers are supported by听nearly 10,000 mentors who are participating in their own development programme alongside their mentees.听

Key findings drawn from the experiences of听early career teachers听(ECTs), mentors and induction tutors involved in the first year of the national roll-out of the two-year ECF-based induction programme reveal that:听

鈥淎t 香港六合彩 IOE, leaders have designed an astute programme that enables ECTs to engage deeply with the knowledge and skills that sit behind the ECF. The programme has been co-designed through meaningful collaboration with delivery partners, who adjust the programme to fit the context in which ECTs work and the subjects and phases they teach.鈥澨

Led by Hilary Adli, Jonathan Dale, and a team of programme leaders within the 香港六合彩 Centre for Educational Leadership who have past experience as school leaders, IOE鈥檚 ECF programme has been designed for contextually responsive learning and the ability to revisit different aspects of the framework over time as ECTs conceptual and practical learning develops, accommodating workload pressures and adaptability to local contexts. 听

Furthermore, IOE has developed a knowledge-based, practice-enriched ECF curriculum that is informed by high quality research and invaluable professional insights directly linked to the realities of teaching, which makes IOE鈥檚 delivery of these programmes distinctive. 听

The ECF is an important part of how 香港六合彩 provides the full 'golden thread' of teacher recruitment and development. This includes undergraduate and postgraduate education, which sees a significant 16.6% of 香港六合彩 graduates (from 2017-2020) go on to work in teaching and education sectors. It further extends to initial teacher education, and National Professional Qualifications (NPQs), which are designed to complement and extend the existing knowledge of ECTs and mentors, reinforcing a commitment to ongoing professional growth.听

Further findings in Ofsted鈥檚 report note that:听

  • Trainees are supported by extremely effective communication at all levels.听
  • IOE holds a clear commitment to promoting equality at all levels.听
  • The growing knowledge of ECTs is continually checked, enabling focused training and support to become increasingly bespoke over the two years of the programme.听
  • The quality of training that ECTs receive, and the resources that they access to support their learning, are extremely strong.听
  • Regular and close communication between lead providers and delivery partners takes place in a highly productive and collaborative manner, with partners sharing and learning from one another. Partners show remarkable agility in responding to any areas that need further enhancement.听
  • IOE鈥檚 model of onside and educative mentoring means that ECTs benefit from non-judgmental discussion that promotes open reflection.听

Professor Qing Gu, Director of the 香港六合彩 Centre for Educational Leadership, said: 鈥淥n behalf of the ECF team at IOE, we are extremely proud of what we have achieved together with our school partners, marking the start of a significant journey in teacher retention and development, and our ongoing deep commitment to the teaching profession.

"We truly feel the report鈥檚 outcome听stands as a testament to the collective impact being made to ECTs professional learning and serves as听recognition of our efforts to design programmes that truly work for those they are intended to support.鈥

Professor Li Wei, Director and Dean of IOE, said: 鈥淲e very much welcome this recognition of the work delivered by the ECF team in the 香港六合彩 Centre for Educational Leadership. Our collective endeavours with our delivery partners are paving the way for successful and fulfilling teaching careers., as well as reaching beyond individual classrooms to have a wider influence within schools and catalyse improvement across the system."
