Our Academy Transformation Trust Institute, working in partnership with Ambition Institute, is leading an expert, innovative training offer for Early Career Teachers and their mentors for the full two-year programme. We deliver the Early Career Framework to Early Career Teachers in our ATT Academies as well as fellow Multi-Academy Trusts and Academies.
The early career framework sets out what early career teachers are entitled to learn about and learn how to do when they start their careers. It underpins a new entitlement for two years of professional development, designed to help early career teachers develop their practice, knowledge and working habits. It provides your Early Career Teachers with excellent grounding and training opportunities to ensure that they develop as expert practitioners whilst supporting your mentors in becoming highly effective Instructional Coaches.
Why This Programme?
This Department for Education-funded programme builds on the thinking behind the early career framework to help educators early in their careers develop expertise and improve wellbeing and job satisfaction.
You can download Ambition Institute’s Expert Edit publication now for more information about the early career framework and how the Early Career Teachers Programme can support your early career teachers.
Our blend of synchronous, asynchronous, face-to-face, and digital learning provides a sector-leading range of development opportunities for your Early Career Teachers, including engagement with leading educational thinkers and speakers at our conference events.

Early career teachers are at the heart of our PD offer; our delivery partner Ambition Institute was rated Outstanding by Ofsted for their ECT provision in 2023. Our ECT programme is facilitated by our visiting fellows, passionate education professionals with broad experience and expertise.
Our new Initial Teacher Training (ITT) programme, also delivered in partnership with Ambition Institute, will link closely with our Early Career Teacher programme.The ECT programme goes deeper into key topics of ITT using the same concepts and terminology- repetition is minimised by following the whole teacher training process with the same provider.
