The NQT induction has changed. Since September 2021, it has become two years.
Why?
Contents
“The Early Career Framework (ECF) underpins an entitlement to a fully-funded, two-year package of structured training and support for early career teachers linked to the best available research evidence. The package of reforms will ensure new teachers have dedicated time set aside to focus on their development.
Our vision is for the ECF to build on high-quality Initial Teacher Training (ITT) and become the cornerstone of a successful career in teaching.” *
*Early Career Framework, January 2019
Contents
ECTs will undertake 2 years of extended support and training, supported by the Appropriate Body and HT.
Changes to statutory induction arrangements from September 2021
ECTs in their second year of teaching are entitled to 5% of time away from the classroom.
at the end of Initial Teacher Training
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) will continue to be awarded:
before the start of statutory induction (minus assessment only route exemptions)
Reforms to the ECF rolled out nationally from September 2021.
ECTS who have started but not completed induction on 1 September 2021 will have until September 2023 to complete a one-year induction period. After this point, these teachers will still be able to complete induction, but will need to complete a full 2-year period.
All early career teachers will access a programme of training based on the Early Career Framework. Every Head Teacher and Appropriate Body providing statutory induction will need to ensure they meet these new requirements.
There will be 3 approaches available to enable the delivery of an Early Career Framework-based induction. The approaches are:
Contents
Action: Decide on your delivery model for an Early Career Framework-based training programme.
Note: approaches 2 and 3 must be fidelity checked by the Appropriate Body
We strongly recommend that you choose the Funded Induction programme.
There are 5 key elements to the ECF:
Contents
2 years of new, funded, high quality training for ECTs and mentors
freely available high quality development materials based on the Early Career Framework
additional funding for 5% time away from the classroom for teachers in their second year
a dedicated mentor and support for these mentors
funding to cover mentors’ time with the mentee in the second year of teaching

Appropriate Body Roles: |

The appropriate body will continue to play an important role in Early Career Teachers’ inductions.
Action:
Register your ECT(s) with an Appropriate Body to fulfil statutory induction requirements.
Contents
Action:
Identify potential mentors from the existing staff of your school. Who has the skills and experience necessary for this role?
Mentors will receive: |
|
If a mentor has more than one Early Career Teacher to supervise, their training allocation can be used by a prospective mentor, with a view to building mentor capacity in the school.
All early career teachers will be entitled to a dedicated mentor, who will share their expertise. Mentors will be trained and have access to resources developed by the ECF providers. This role should be separate to that of the induction tutor.
The ECF has been designed to support Early Career Teacher development in five core areas. These relate to the Teachers’ Standards, but are not exactly the same.

The ECF should not be used as an assessment framework, and assessment should only be made against the Teachers’ Standards.

‘Learn that…’ statements are informed by the best available educational research, with references and further reading provided.
‘Learn how to…’statements are drawn from the wider evidence base including both academic research and additional guidance from expert practitioners.
Each learning section is split into two in the ECF.
The first part is labelled ‘Learn that…’ and asks that teachers new to the profession expand their knowledge and experience of each area.
The second part is labelled ‘Learn how to…’ and details tasks that are designed to be more actionable.
An example is shown on the next slide.
