More about this course

  • The ECF will be applicable to all new teachers in England from 2021. This course is aimed at school leaders and mentor teachers who will play a part in implementing the ECF. The course will help you to understand how to plan for and support early career teacher professional development through the ECF.
  • You will learn about perspectives on teacher expertise and learning, including pedagogical methods of teacher education. You will discuss your own understanding of teacher expertise with peers, as well as your vision for teacher development in your setting.
  • You will explore how the ECF is designed to support early career teachers professional development. And you will consider what additional learning your early career teachers will need to prepare them fully for your setting.
