Support for ECTs Working in the EYFS

Early Career Teacher Programme: Beginning the Journey in the Early Years

Description

Embarking on a teaching career comes with exciting opportunities, as well as challenges; not least for those who are starting the journey working in the Early Years. To supplement the DfE/National ECT Training Programme, we have put together a unique and comprehensive programme of online CPD designed to specifically support ECTs in the EYFS helping them to develop their knowledge and practice of this complex key stage, whilst building their professional identity as a teacher.

Structured around three core themes of the EYFS, the Child, the Environment, and the Adult; the programme draws on the latest research relating to child development, unpicks the key messages of the EYFS and provides a range of practical tools to guide participants through their first year of teaching.

 

Programme Structure

Module One: The Child

What ECTs need to know…

  • Exploring Child Development – Spotlight on the Prime Areas

  • How Young Children Learn – Exploring the Characteristics of Effective Learning, Well-being and Involvement

  • Unpicking the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory framework

  • Reflecting on Curriculum

 

Module Two: The Environment

What ECTs need to do…

  • Outdoors – Developing effective Continuous Provision

 

Module Three: The Adult

What ECTs need to know and do…

  • Strengthening the Role of the Adult

In addition to webinars, gap tasks and resources for ECTS, the programme includes support for Mentors. A range of tools and resources have been specifically designed to help the Mentor and ECT to engage in professional dialogue about effective EYFS provision and practice. This includes a webinar for Mentors which outlines the programme contents, a range of professional development activities, and bitesize mentor sessions which focus on the key learning the ECTs will be undertaking.
