Early Career Teacher Entitlement

IF YOU HAVE ANY CHANGES FOR YOUR ECT, INDUCTION TUTOR OR MENTOR DETAILS, PLEASE INFORM US BY EMAILING TS-HUB@BALCARRAS.GLOUCS.SCH.UK

The Early Career Teacher Entitlement (ECTE) sets out what Early Career Teachers (ECTs) should learn and be able to do at the start of their careers. It underpins a structured, two-year programme of professional development designed to build confidence, strengthen classroom practice, and develop professional knowledge and habits.

Balcarras Teaching School Hub works in partnership with UCL (Institute of Education) as its lead delivery partner for the ECTE framework. Alongside the Odyssey Teaching School Hub, we work collaboratively to ensure that all Early Career Teachers across Gloucestershire receive high-quality training that fully meets the requirements of the ECTE. 

What Early Career Teachers receive

Early Career Teachers benefit from a fully funded, two-year package of support through the ECTE, including:

• Two years of high-quality training
• A dedicated mentor
• Funded training and resources for mentors

Programme options for schools

Schools can choose the delivery approach that best suits their context while meeting the requirements of the ECTE framework:

• Statutory induction using a DfE-funded training provider (provider-led)

• Statutory induction to deliver own training materials (school led)
