Programmes that aligned to the initial teacher training core content framework were first delivered from September 2020. The framework was introduced in response to the Carter review. One of the report’s recommendations was:
We believe ITT course content should have a relentless focus on pupil outcomes (including pupil progress, achievement and well-being) and should be delivered purposefully towards this overarching goal.

The ITT Early Career Framework does not set out the full ITT curriculum for trainee teachers. The complexity of the process for becoming a teacher cannot be overestimated and it remains for individual providers to design curricula appropriate for the subject, phase and age range that the trainees will be teaching.

The ITT core content framework aligns with the Early Career Framework (ECF) to establish an entitlement to a 3 or more-year structured package of support for all new teachers at the start of their careers (one year via the ITT core content framework and a further two years via the ECF).

While the ITT Core Content Framework is presented around the Teachers’ Standards for clarity, the ITT Core Content Framework is not, and should not be used, as an assessment framework.

The ITTECF sets out the entitlement of every trainee and early career teacher (ECT) to the core body of knowledge, skills and behaviours that define great teaching, and to the mentoring and support from expert colleagues they should receive throughout the three or more years at the start of their career. ECTs will purposefully revisit the elements of teaching introduced in ITT to deepen their knowledge and understanding. The ITTECF remains designed to equip all trainees and ECTs with a shared body of knowledge and skills, irrespective of subject or phase.

In designing the curricula, Edge Hill University carefully craft the experiences and activities detailed in the ITT Early Career Framework into a coherent sequence that supports trainees to succeed in the classroom. EHU encompass the full entitlement described in the ITT ECF, as well as integrating additional analysis and critique

of theory, research and expert practice.

Trainee teachers will not be expected to collect evidence against the ITT Early Career Framework, and they will continue to be assessed against the Teachers’ Standards only. QTS will continue to be awarded at the end of Initial Teacher Training against the Teachers’ Standards.

The Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework (ITTECF) was developed in consultation with the following members of an External Steering Group and in collaboration with a wide range of teachers, school leaders, academics and experts.

The content of the framework and its underpinning evidence has been independently assessed and endorsed by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF)
