Dear all,

We hope that you have had an enjoyable start to the summer term which, for most of you, will be the term in which you finally complete induction!

As you know, Year 2 Development Cycle 5 begins on Monday 24^th April.  Please find attached the relevant bulletin, which we hope you will find useful, together with Teach First’s Development Cycle 5 overviews for ECTs, mentors and induction tutors.  Also attached are details of this year’s Teach SouthEast summer internship, which we would be grateful if you would share freely with anyone who might be interested.  It is a great opportunity for anyone thinking about teaching to dip their toe in the water!  We have also attached a summer term checklist to support the many responsibilities that induction tutors have during the summer term.

For those physics teachers amongst us, please see below for a fantastic, fully-funded CPD opportunity on offer from the Ogden Trust. 

Many thanks to those of you who attended Katrina Cochrane’s excellent CPD session this week on dyslexia.  The session was over-subscribed and, if there is sufficient interest, we will be pleased to arrange another opportunity for you to benefit from Katrina’s superb knowledge and expertise. 

Have a good week, everyone. 

Best regards,

The ECF Team
