ECT Extra
Our ECT extra programme aims to provide Early Career Teachers with CPD in specific areas. The sessions have been selected and devised based on feedback from ECTs and Mentors over the last 2 years, and are delivered by a range of amazing teachers and leaders in our regional schools.
Facilitated by expert practitioners from across the region, they aim to strengthen and develop knowledge and practice, and present a great opportunity to meet peers and colleagues at a similar career stage.
It is great to see this programme providing an opportunity for exploration of pedagogy, discussion and networking.
To ensure easy access for all, our sessions are delivered online and after school, they are all recorded, with links added to this page.
- All sessions run from 4 pm - 5 pm (with an additional 30 minutes for questions at the end of each session).
- Sessions take place on Zoom, follow the links below to register your place and submit any questions for facilitators.
