Early career framework
A framework of standards to help early career teachers succeed at the start of their careers.
▤ Verbatim text from source document
The early career framework (ECF) sets out what early career teachers are entitled to learn about and learn how to do when they start their careers. It underpins a new entitlement for 2 years of professional development designed to help early career teachers develop their practice, knowledge and working habits.
The Department for Education published interim research which evaluated the national rollout of the ECF induction programme in May 2022.
From September 2025, the initial teacher training and early career framework will replace this framework.
