In June 2021 The DfE launched the new Early Career Teacher Programme. Here are the standards.
These have gone hand in hand with my Effective Teacher Programme that I have run since 2018 to 100s of teachers country wide.
I am now launching my new 2024 programme below.
I offer whole day, or 1/2 days either live or remote, or do get in touch for a bespoke package!
The sessions delivered cover the following themes:
- How Pupils Learn and How to Set High Expectations (ECF: Standard 2 and 1)
- Adaptive Teaching for SEND & Inclusion, including working in collaboration with other adults (ECF: Standard 5 and 8)
- Behaviour and Relationship Management (ECF Standard 7)
- Classroom Practice – Planning well-structured lessons (ECF: Standard 4)

Feedback:
In September 2018-2019 I ran this programme as a trial, offering a 5 full or 1/2 day package which involved evidence informed guidance, suggestions and take away ideas for teachers to use and develop into effective practitioners.
The programme was launched in Peterborough, Dorset and Cambridge.
Amjad is leading his Effective Teacher Programme this year for Dorset Teaching School Alliance (DTSA) — a partnership of 12 first schools, 3 middle schools and a studio school, along with a special and upper school. Our priority is to offer continuous, high quality professional learning for our teachers. Amjad’s personalised programme meets these requirements and more. Amjad is an engaging, knowledgeable CPD leader is who is supremely flexible, adapting his approach and focus according to our specific needs. ‘I could listen to Amjad all day.’ (Feedback from one of Amjad’s training sessions for DTSA). Amjad is articulate and presents well thought out, evidence informed ideas from the critical perspective of a highly effective practising teacher. For us, this is key to Amjad’s success – teachers leave Amjad’s training inspired by new ideas and feel able to use them the very next day to change their practice. Amjad has been booked in for another 3 whole days for 2019-2020!

We asked Amjad to come in and deliver his Effective Teacher Programme over the course of the academic year with our RQTs, at the City of Peterborough Academy. The sustainability of the model as it is over the academic year is key to those teachers developing their practice via a non-obtrusive and supportive pathway. Amjad’s support is second to none, and the teachers he is working with have been nothing but complimentary of his support and guidance in developing their practice. Amjad has also started to work with our Heads of Department and leadership team as we look to embed support and development of teaching through all levels of leadership.

I have been delivering these sessions by amalgamating and evaluating personal experiences and learning from the 100s of teachers, leaders and authors I have interacted with over the years.
