Embedded Files
In their first year of teaching, ECTs are entitled to a 10% reduction in their timetable. In their second year, their entitlement will be reduced by 5%. This allows for regular mentoring, study and action from the ECT and ensures there is space for them to embed their learning. Schools are funded for and should facilitate this when planning their timetable. To hear more about how best to prepare your school for the ECTE, listen to the induction tutor podcast here.
It’s required that mentors also be given intentional timetable capacity, to provide the best support for the ECT. The investment in ensuring mentors have this time to meet their ECT as well as to observe them every week is vital for the ECT’s progress, confidence and development.
