Early Career Teacher Entitlement

The Early Career Teacher Entitlement supports Early Career Teachers (ECTs) with professional development throughout their two year statutory induction period.

The ECT Entitlement consists of 2 parts - the Early Career Teacher Programme (for which the ECT must be registered) and registration with an Appropriate Body that will monitor the statutory induction period.

The Early Career Training Programme (ECTP)

Nationally, schools have two options in how to provide the Early Career Training Programme:

  • Provider-led (DfE funded)
    Schools can choose to partner with a Lead Provider and local Delivery Partners who will design and deliver a programme of face to face and online training to ECTs and their mentors. Details of the ECTP for Gloucestershire

  • School-led (no funding)
    Schools can choose to develop and deliver their own training programme based on the ITTECF, fully covering all aspects of the framework. For more information click here.
