Our team's objectives

All of these items of work are related to our objectives as a team. Our objectives are structured to enable us to meet the Teaching CPD vision of services serving their core purposes and being flexible enough to adapt to future change and opportunities.

Our objectives are centred around how we can make it easier for schools, lead providers and appropriate bodies to support and train ECTs and mentors.

  4. Improve understanding of financial information internally and make sure payments are calculated correctly 💰
  5. Ensure the successful development of the Register early career teacher services by planning for dependencies, risks and communications 🗒️
  6. Minimise time and money spent on support tasks by creating improved joint support and finance tooling 🦸
  7. Improve how data on ECF is reported and create performance metrics for the new Register early career teachers services 📊
