TEACHING SCHOOL HUB BARNSLEY AND DONCASTER S E L BY A N D WA K E F I E L D
Bringing world-class professional development to our region’s schools
Welcome to our programme for early career teachers in partnership with UCL Institute of Education. We are delighted to partner with UCL Institute of Education offering a robust professional learning and development pathway for early career teachers and mentors in Barnsley, Doncaster, Selby and Wakefield. Their Full Induction Programme is free for schools and attracts additional funding to release mentors for training, above the £2,100 funding. UCL Institute worked highly successfully on the Early Rollout of the Early Careers Framework (ECF), ensuring their ECF resources have been tried and tested in schools. Our strategic partner, Doncaster Research School, contributed to the design and delivery of the programme, which means that all schools will benefit from their considerable learning and expertise, along with the substantial experience of ECF early roll out and expansion across our Hub consortia.
What is the Early Careers Framework? From September 2021, all Early Career Teachers (ECTs) are entitled to a twoyear Early Career Framework (ECF) induction providing a statutory two-year development programme for early career teachers and their mentors. This fully funded package builds on and complements ITT, exemplifying what all early career teachers should be entitled to learn about, and learn how to do, in the critical first years of their careers. The programme is based on expert guidance and the best available research evidence, produced as part of the government’s teacher recruitment and retention strategy. Wakefield & Selby and Barnsley & Doncaster Hubs will deliver UCL’s Full Induction Programme (FIP) to ECTs and Mentors in our partner schools and beyond.

Registra tion is now o pen!
It has been a huge privilege to work with UCL Institute of Education as part of the consortium for the early roll out of the ECF, both in the design and delivery of the programme. The ECF programme, and those schools and ECTs engaging with it, have benefitted greatly from the unique partnership between the school sector and universities. This has led to a highly effective programme which is responsive to school needs and contributing significantly to high quality early teacher development.
