Development Initiative - Early Career Framework (ECF)

Making an informed choice for a provider led programme.

The first years of a teacher's career are vitally important for professional development. The best time to develop good habits and effective teaching strategies is at the start of a new career in the classroom. The Early Career Framework (ECF) provides a fully-funded structured package of training and support for all NQTs (or Early Career Teachers) and their in-school mentors from September 2021, with an aim of retaining talent within schools for the long-term.

Schools now have an important choice to make – the lead training provider they partner with to support their next generation of teachers.

As one of Strictly Education’s trusted partners, Best Practice Network - an award-winning training provider rated “exceptional” by the Department for Education - is a highly recommended option for introducing and delivering the Early Career Framework to your school’s NQTs.
