The Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework (ITTECF) takes the Teacher Standards and breaks them into Learn That and Learn How To statements to guide the development and education of pre-service and early-career teachers over the three years of initial training and induction into the profession. The framework comprises of statements drawn from the best-available evidence and research within education. This book summarizes the key evidence behind each statement in accessible language, drawing on the main findings, and also suggests practical strategies for the application of the theory into classroom and school-based practice.

'Over the years I’ve learnt that when Henry talks I listen. And when he writes, I read avidly! Through a combination of beautifully written text, meticulously researched studies and insightful commentary, Henry educates, challenges and supports the reader. The education world is a better place for having his thoughts written down so clearly and compellingly in one place.'

Bradley Busch, Director and Chief Psychological Officer for InnerDrive

'This book offers a thoughtful and research-informed exploration of the ITTECF that goes beyond compliance to engage with the moral, relational and professional dimensions of teaching. The book draws carefully on evidence whilst unpacking key concepts and classroom realities. This is a valuable resource for early career teachers, mentors and leaders implementing the ITTECF with critical awareness and professional judgement’
