Help! I'm an ECT - What's Next

Описание: Are you an Early Career Teacher wondering what comes next? In this Flourish Education Roundtable, we’re joined by Ashley Winters, Director of Primary at Washwood Heath MAT, to explore how ECTs can make the most of their early years in teaching.

With nearly 30 years of experience in education, Ashley shares practical advice, insights and strategies to help ECTs build confidence, develop professionally and take control of their teaching careers. Having held subject, phase and whole-school leadership responsibilities across areas including PE, Art, Assessment, Teaching & Learning, and Behaviour, Ashley brings a wealth of knowledge to this discussion.

In this session, we cover:

• How to choose the right school as an ECT
• Tips for staying organised and maintaining a healthy work–life balance
• Understanding the role of your ECT mentor and building a strong professional relationship
• Ashley’s personal recommendations for books, blogs and podcasts every ECT should explore
• Practical advice on proactively shaping your ECT journey

This roundtable is ideal for newly qualified teachers and ECTs in their first year who want guidance, reassurance and actionable advice for a successful start to their teaching career.

Attendees also receive a templated Teaching Standards action plan and exemplar documents to support their development during their ECT years.
