02 Induction Tutors

This news page is for all leaders registered as Induction Tutors with Generate Teaching Hub

If you have recently appointed an ECT, please ensure that you have registered them for their induction. Follow the two steps below register your ECTs and Mentors.

· All ECTs and Mentors need to be registered on the DfE portal to formally register their training and gain access to the online learning platform

· All ECTs need to have their Induction registered with an Appropriate Body

Brand new ECTs appointed after February Half Term will join the April Cohort for training. Dates of Welcome Conferences and seminars for this cohort will be sent out in due course.

Appropriate Body Updates

Quality Assurance visits are continuing to highlight the great practice that is going on in schools across Halton, Warrington and Wigan. Thank you to those schools who are already hosted us – we are looking forward to visiting more over the next term.

It is great to hear of so many ECTs successfully making good progress towards meeting the Teachers’ Standards at the end of their induction. However, sometimes an ECT may not be on track and may require some extra support. In these situations, please do contact the AB early to discuss your ECT and explore how best to support them.

Spring Term Submissions

On 14th March, Progress Review forms and Formal and Final Assessment forms will be released and available on ECT Manager for Induction Tutors to complete. Once completed, ECTs will be able to access the forms to read and add their comments, before they are digitally signed and submitted. The deadline for submission is 28th March. Remember that the ECT and Induction Tutor should meet to discuss the contents of the report and agree on the next steps for development. ECTs should reflect on their progress so far and Progress Reviews and Formal Assessments are formal documents where this can be recorded. There are some good examples of ECT comments in the Resources Section of ECT Manager to support this. Take a look at the Generate Guides to support you in writing your reviews and assessments.
