The government has been warned against treating the evidence base for early career framework (ECF) reforms like “some kind of Bible”.
Professor Sam Twiselton, the director of the Institute of Education at Sheffield Hallam University and a government adviser on initial teacher training, said she was worried about such reverence, including amongst staff at the Department for Education.
She told a Festival of Education event on Thursday the framework (ECF) evidence base “really isn’t” a Bible, and was instead “incomplete” and “contestable”.
