responsibilities sets out an expectation for teachers to make a positive contribution
to the wider life and ethos of the school. Part Two of the Standards, ‘Personal and
Professional Conduct’, sets out that a teacher is expected to demonstrate consistently
high standards of personal and professional conduct, including maintaining high standards
of ethics and behaviour.</p><p> </p><p>The Teachers’ Standards are used to assess
all trainees working towards Qualified Teaching Status, and all those completing their
statutory induction period.</p><p> </p><p>The recently announced Early Career Framework
(ECF) was developed against the Teachers’ Standards, including Standard 8 (fulfil
wider professional responsibilities). Part Two of the Teachers’ Standards must always
be met and stands alongside the ECF. Once rolled out nationally in September 2021,
the ECF will underpin an entitlement to a two year package of structured training
and support for early career teachers. A copy of the ECF can be found attached.</p>
