In our trust we understand the importance of early career teacher (ECT) induction. We ensure that all our schools follow the latest statutory guidance, and we do our very best to ensure that the ECTs who work in our trust are supported to successfully complete their induction.
At TrustEd we register our ECTs with the Shropshire & Telford Education Partnership (STEP) who are the local Teaching School Hub for the region. STEP work in partnership with University College London to deliver the Early Career Development Programme. Our ECTs and mentors will attend the full range of training and access all updates that are provided through STEP.
To complement the statutory programme delivered by STEP our ECTs will also benefit from an annual TrustEd ECT conference and the opportunity to attend phase and/or subject specific network training that is delivered by Trust executives or professional expert colleagues that have been identified in each of our schools.
