Early Career Training Programme - Autumn Term update
 - cropped.jpg)
The new academic year has got off to a fantastic start for our Early Career Training Programme, with ECTs and mentors across the region coming together for a series of engaging and insightful training sessions. Delivered through a mix of face-to-face and online events, the sessions have provided valuable opportunities to learn, reflect and connect with colleagues. It has been wonderful to see such high levels of enthusiasm and engagement, with participants embracing discussions, sharing experiences and supporting one another as they begin a programme of professional growth.
For our Year 1 Early Career Teachers, the training offers a strong foundation for developing confidence, refining classroom practice and deepening understanding of effective teaching strategies.
In Year 2, the programme delves deeper into phase and subject-specific training, which provides a grounding in knowledge that informs each ECT's Development Cycle for the term.
For mentors, the sessions provide dedicated time to strengthen their coaching and mentoring skills, ensuring they can offer the best possible support throughout the induction journey.
Here's how our participants felt about this term's events:
"It was super, well-organised, relevant, thanks."
"The facilitators were fab!"
"Sessions are always amazing."
"Wonderful facilitators, very personable and made the session enjoyable."
"Fantastic, the best seminars yet. Very much enjoyed and going back to school with a lot of extras."
"Great experts with lots of knowledge."
"Great and informative day!"
We're delighted by the positive start to the year and the commitment shown by everyone involved. We look forward to continuing the journey together throughout the year ahead!
