Early Career Framework

The Early Career Framework is the evidence base which underpins the entitlement for early career teachers’ professional development. It sets out what all early career teachers should learn about and learn how to do during the first 2 years of their careers.

The Oxfordshire Teaching School Hub works in partnership with University College London to deliver the ECF programme for ECTs in our partner schools.

The links on the right will provide you with summary information relevant to the various ECF roles. 

You'll find full details about the Early Career Framework plus the ECT and mentor ECF programmes in our Handbook.

The ECT and Mentor ECF programme materials are accessed through the UCL Extend online learning platform.
