Teacher development is changing. In September 2020, the new Initial Teacher Training (ITT) Core Content Framework was implemented by training providers; and the Early Career Framework (ECF) was rolled-out early in Bradford in advance of a national roll-out from September 2021. From September 2021, new specialist National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) and reformed leadership NPQs will be delivered for the first time, along with a programme for new headteachers. At the heart of these reforms are teaching school hubs. Bradford Teaching School Hub will play a key role in delivering these reforms and programmes. The Teacher Development Network will support teachers and leaders of schools and trusts to build their awareness of the changes and how their school(s) can become involved.
Emma Dobson explores the EEF guidance report on effective professional development and how effective practice can be evidenced through the Early Career Teachers programme.
In December 2021, the Department for Education (DfE) published their response to the ITT market review consultation. The presentation, below, focuses on the aspects of teacher development featured in the report (rather than quality assurance, assessment of trainees, etc).
