Investing in early career teachers (ECTs) has never been more important. Following Initial Teacher Training, our Early Career Professional Development Programme (ECPDP) offers the essential specialist support needed to improve practice, build confidence and resilience, leading to better job satisfaction and retention.

Since the early roll-out of the Department for Education (DfE) funded Early Career Framework, EDT has been a lead provider. Beginning delivery from September 2021, we have delivered a funded programme for Early Career Teachers as part of the national roll-out, with cohorts starting annually in September, January, and April.   

As part of the Framework, the programme is inspected by Ofsted. Following our recent Early Career Framework Inspection, Ofsted has now published the report.
