Induction for Early Career Teachers
Induction for Early Career Teachers
An ECT is an 'Early Career Teacher' who has just obtained QTS (Qualified Teacher Status). This phase involves undertaking a 2 year induction programme underpinned by the early career framework.[external link]
Appropriate bodies
The induction process has to be quality assured by an 'appropriate body'.
Darlington Local Authority operated as an appropriate body up to 31st August 2024.
From 1st September 2024, teaching schools hubs became the main provider of appropriate body services.
Schools are encouraged to choose their local teaching school hub for appropriate body services unless they have specific reasons to go elsewhere. See the list of Appropriate Bodies.[external link]
We hold information about the ECTs we managed whilst acting as their appropriate body.
