This insightful interview with Ian Bauckham CBE, CEO of Tenax Schools Trust, offers top tips for headteachers and other leaders to effectively utilise sector standards and guidance, advising on how recent updates can help with preparing and delivering COVID recovery plans, and strengthening leadership practices.
Alongside discussing general priorities and areas that headteachers and school leaders more broadly will need to focus on in coming weeks and months, key themes covered in this conversation include the National Professional Qualifications, Early Career Framework (ECF), Teaching School Hubs and how the Oak National Academy has become a resource for pupils and staff alike.
Crucially for headteachers who will be hiring new Early Career Teachers from September 2021, Ian highlights how these staff will be required to do an ECF Compliance Induction, which should be arranged before the end of the summer term.
