These are creating the right climate for leaders to establish supportive school cultures, transforming support for early career teachers, building a career offer that remains attractive to teachers as their careers and lives develop, and making it easier for great people to become teachers.</p><p>Designed collaboratively with the sector, the centrepiece of the strategy is the Early Career Framework, which will underpin a fully-funded, two-year package of structured support for all early career teachers linked to the best available research evidence.
