What should happen if there are concerns about the ECT’s progress and ability to meet the Teachers’ Standards by the end of induction?
The appropriate body must be informed about concerns so that advice can be given.
There should be no surprises for an ECT about their progress.
Additional monitoring and support measures should be put in place immediately via the appropriate body’s support plan template (found in the resource section).
It is important that the ECT is made aware of they need to improve their practice and given every opportunity to raise their performance. The headteacher/principal and the appropriate body should be satisfied that:
• areas in which improvement is needed have been correctly identified;
• appropriate objectives have been set to guide the ECT towards satisfactory performance against the Teachers’ Standards; and
• an effective support programme is in place to help the ECT improve their performance.

Where can I find out more about additional monitoring and support for ECTs?
Please refer to resources section where there is a guide for ECTs and a guide for induction tutors on this scenario as well as a flow chart, templates and examples.
Please also contact the appropriate body for further information and guidance.
