Opportunity: Learn AT ECT Training Programme

Do you have an ECT working in your school this year? If so, you will need to register them for the Early Career Teacher Programme (ECTP) which ensures that new teachers are given the expert support they need to become confident, capable classroom practitioners.

 

Learn AT works as a delivery partner for the National Institute of Teaching to deliver flexible training and relevant support, to help teachers succeed right from the start.

This programme offers:

  • Personalised learning: Our self-directed study materials will help ECTs learn what they need, when they need it. Our curriculum builds on what’s gone before but reduces repetition from ITT years.
  • 1:1 support: Mentors will be able to access relevant training and development to support their ECTs on their learning journey and will support and guide their ECTs with clear action steps.
  • Learning from others: Our local networking sessions allow ECTs and mentors to solve thorny problems together, learning from others on their doorsteps.
  • Access to international experts: Our unique in-depth webinars give ECTs and mentors the chance to learn from international experts on behaviour, literacy and formative assessment

Registration is a three-part process, as you will need to register your ECTs with the DfE, with Learn Academies Trust as your lead provider and with your Appropriate Body (AB), which then informs the TRA (Teaching Regulation Authority) of their ECTP commencement.
