ECF - Register Your School
NEW DfE REGISTRATION SERVICE FOR ECTs AND ECMs - AUTUMN 2023
New DfE online portal to register Autumn 2023 ECTs/ECMs NOW OPEN!
The DfE opened their new online service to register new-starter Autumn 2023 ECTs/ECMs week commencing 3rd July 2023. Schools are able to register Autumn 2023 ECT and ECM starters after 3rd July and should receive guidance from the DfE to support registration. Please select this link to start registration: https://manage-training-for-early-career-teachers.education.gov.uk/
The BTSA works in partnership with Best Practice Network to deliver the Early Career Framework. Best Practice Network was recently rated OUTSTANDING by Ofsted for their Early Career Framework programme and provision.
To ensure access to BTSA local ECF training, please select Best Practice Network from the list of ECF providers and schools will then be allocated to their local delivery partners.
How do I register my ECT and ECM for the Early Career Induction Programme with Best Practice Network?
Schools moving provider or not yet registered with Best Practice Network?
- New schools can register with Best Practice Network BPN School Registration Form: BPN School Registration Form
- If your school has not yet had an ECT or is changing Lead Provider to Best Practice Network, the school will also need to register via the form above.
Things to note
- Schools already working with Best Practice Network do not need to re-register with BPN
- Schools do not need to re-register ECTs and ECMs moving into the second year of their ECF programme
DfE ‘Check Data’ for ECTs and ECMs
The DfE has advised that schools can check the data held about their early career teachers and mentors via this link:
DfE Check Data Service - ECTs and ECMs
Timeline for Autumn 2023
Once Induction Tutors/ECF Coordinators have input the ECT and ECM details onto the new DfE online service (available week commencing 3rd July 2023), the ECTs/ECMs will be sent a follow-on BPN registration form to capture additional information (please select BTSA from the list of delivery partners as this will ensure that you are allocated to our local provision). Upon completion of the registration form they will be sent a welcome pack which will include preparatory information about the ECF programme, their ECT/ECM Handbook as well as a list of links to register themselves for the Induction Conference.
