Appropriate Body and Early Career Framework

The Voyage Education Partnership works as a Delivery Partner with the Appropriate Body for Lincolnshire, L.E.A.D. Teaching School Hub, to support the Statutory Induction of Early Career Teachers. 

Voyage Education Partnership will support their allocated ECTs who are registered with L.E.A.D. as the Appropriate Body.

An ECT’s two year statutory induction period is the bridge between their initial teaching training and a successful career in the teaching profession. There is a core curriculum based on the Early Career Framework (ECF) and, along with the Teaching School Hub, Voyage delivers the Education Development Trust ECF Programme.  It combines a personalised programme of development, support and professional dialogue with a focus on monitoring and assessment against the Teacher Standards.

The induction programme supports the ECT in demonstrating that their performance against the relevant standards is satisfactory by the end of the process, ensuring the teacher is equipped with all of the tools to be effective and successful.

For more information on how to register your ECT with the Appropriate Body please follow the link below:

The Early Career Framework reforms are designed to ensure that Early Career Teachers develop the skills and confidence they need in order to teach effectively.

The Early Career Framework is the evidence base which underpins this new entitlement for Early Career Teachers. This framework provides the content that all Early Career Teachers should access during the first two years of their career. Through an approach of 'learning about and learning how to do', the five core areas of the ECF are outlined below:

• Behaviour Management

• Pedagogy

• Curriculum

• Assessment

• Professional Behaviours
