The ECT programme

The innovative curriculum sequence seamlessly integrates knowledge from all strands (behaviour, instruction, and curriculum and assessment), progressively increasing in challenge. With enhanced diagnostic tools, it offers a personalised learning journey, with the ability to select modules and examples tailored to support and challenge your ECTs based on their unique needs. This approach reflects the advanced knowledge gained from ITT, reducing repetition, and increasing flexibility. Additionally, the programme includes a significant expansion of examples around SEND across all phases and special schools, ensuring a more inclusive and comprehensive experience.

Our programme is designed to support ECTs in mastering the essential aspects of teaching through four key strands: Behaviour, Instruction, Curriculum and Assessment and Professional Practice.

The learning experience

With an overarching theme each term, our programme offers a fortnightly self study schedule over the two years. This structure allows ECTs to dedicate two weeks to each module, providing ample time to understand the content, practice with their mentor, and integrate new strategies into their teaching.

Essential events

Our conferences and clinics are an integral part of the programme and are designed to elevate your ECTs professional development over the two years. Attendance at these events is crucial to fully benefit from the programme.

The three conferences are tailored to build upon the knowledge acquired through self study modules, providing deeper insights and advanced learning opportunities. Meanwhile, the six clinics address common teaching challenges, offering practical solutions and helping ECTs understand what good practice looks like in their own classrooms.
