What are the statutory entitlements for ECTs?
· Access to accredited training based on the Early Career
Framework. They must engage with this as part of Teacher
Standard 8 and also to meet expectations of professional
conduct.
· Regular high quality mentoring by a trained mentor preferably
during the school day:
*1 h per week in Year 1
* 1h per fortnight in Year 2 (funded by DfE)
· Additional non-contact time:
*10% in Year 1
* 5% additional in Year 2 (funded by DfE)
· CPD that matches their needs e.g. opportunities to observe other
teachers (“expert colleagues”)
· Support and guidance from an Induction Tutor
· Regular reviews of progress with clear targets to aid professional
development; this is the responsibility of the Induction Tutor
· Appropriate responsibilities (e.g. teaching within the subject or
phase for which the ECT trained)
