Appropriate Body update

Progress Review forms and Formal and Final Assessment forms have been released to your Induction Tutors and are available on ECT Manager for them to complete.  Once completed, ECTs will be able to access the forms to read and add your own comments, before they are digitally signed and submitted.  Remember that the you and your Induction Tutor should meet to discuss the contents of the report and agree on the next steps for development. We are keen to hear your thoughts on your progress and development and there is a formal opportunity on the Progress Reviews and Formal Assessments for you to reflect on your progress so far and record your thoughts.  There are some good examples of ECT comments in the Resources Section of ECT Manager to support you with this.

During our last briefing for Induction Tutors, we shared information on writing Progress Revies and Assessments, if you would like to know more do contact hub@wpat.uk and we can send you a recording of the session.

For any questions about your training or the ECF offer from Generate Teaching Hub please contact hub@wpat.uk.
