Beyond teacher training: Developing early career teachers The programme
will support early career teachers in the North-East, Bradford and
Doncaster, and Greater Manchester as part of the £42 million Teacher
Development Premium. This early roll-out phase will help to build
evidence to support the national roll-out of the Early Career framework
from September 2021.Internationally recognised teacher training programmes
“We know that the learning curve for teachers is steepest in the early
years of their careers, and that high-quality teaching is the biggest
in-school factor in raising the attainment of children” comments Matt
Davis, UK Director at Education Development Trust.
“The Early Career
Framework offers a really comprehensive roadmap of the knowledge and
competences which will make novice teachers more effective in the
classroom. With our support, mentors in their schools will help to
develop new teachers’ expertise and make a positive difference to their
competence, confidence and motivation at this crucial stage in their
careers.
” Education Development Trust’s Accelerate programme, which
launched in 2018, is already offering specialist CPD for early career
teachers. We are pleased to be able to develop this promising model
further, working with one of the biggest providers of teacher education
in the UK, Sheffield Hallam University, along with a range of other
partners and school groups such as Star Academies and Focus-Trust.
Dr
Emily Perry, of Sheffield Institute of Education at Sheffield Hallam
University, said. 'At Sheffield Hallam we are committed to improving the
educational outcomes of young people through our work with teachers
throughout their careers. The Early Career Framework is a key driver in
supporting beginning teachers as they establish their professional
lives.
We are delighted to be collaborating with Education
Development Trust and other partners in this programme.' The programme
will be open to teachers beginning their careers in September 2020 and
further information will be available over the coming months.
