The Early Career Teacher<\/a> (ECT) induction is a vital part of your journey into teaching. Formerly known as the Newly Qualified Teacher<\/a> (NQT) year, the new ECT induction period now includes an additional year to support you in demonstrating how your performance in the classroom meets the teachers\u2019 standards.<\/p>

The ECT induction has been designed to support you on your journey from trainee teacher to an experienced one, with support from experienced tutors and mentors. The induction is underpinned by the Early Career Framework<\/a> (ECF), which builds on and complements Initial Teacher Training (ITT) courses.<\/p>

In this blog, we explore tips and tricks that can be used during the ECT induction period, and beyond, to help you make the most of this important stage in your teaching career.<\/p>

What does it mean to be an ECT?<\/strong><\/h5>

Being an ECT is an excellent opportunity to use all of the great practice you learned during your training period in the classroom. Whilst you will now be responsible for a class, this is still a transition period between being a trainee teacher and being an experienced one, so this is the perfect opportunity to use all of the resources provided to you. As an ECT, you should have the chance to show your teaching skills and, in turn, your ability to meet the teachers’ standards. However, you should also benefit from extra time out of the classroom, additional training courses that are held specifically for ECTs and the professional support of other teachers.<\/p>
