Are you an Early Career Teacher (ECT) looking to stay organised and confidently showcase your progress? Our comprehensive ECT Standards Evidence eGuide and Template is designed specifically for you! This resource provides clear examples and tips on gathering and presenting evidence aligned with teaching standards.
You’ll get:
Structured Template: Easily track and organise your evidence with our ready-made template.
Detailed Examples: Discover what types of evidence to include for each standard, such as classroom setups, lesson plans, observation feedback, and pupil progress.
Visual Guidance: Learn how to use pictures and color coding effectively to present your evidence clearly.
Proven Strategies: Find practical advice on gathering evidence from real-life scenarios—like parent feedback, behavior tracking, and CPD activities.
This guide is your go-to companion to make your ECT journey smoother, ensuring you’re prepared when it’s time to demonstrate your growth and meet the required teaching standards.
This resource is perfect for student placement, PGCE or NQT folders. Each standard and the expectation is stated on the cover. I suggest placing these into your folder just before your evidence, keeping track of each standard and making it easier to find and refer to specific standards.
Teaching standards have been outlined to support evidence during teacher training. Each standard has been sub-categorized to make it easier to reference when submitting evidence.
Also included is a checklist to support when completing evidence. These files can both be edited.
Example of write up and the evidence I used to show I had met each teaching standard while completing my teacher training.
Great to use for ideas while for your teacher training or performance management targets.
This is a checklist for trainee teachers. Most teacher training providers require students to provide three clear pieces of evidence for each standard. This can be used to ensure you have three quality pieces of evidence. On the checklist there is a grid below each standard for the trainee teacher to write a description of their evidence. This allows the trainee to see clearly if their evidence matches up to the standard.
This resource is ideal for trainee teachers completing their PGCE/SCITT/similar courses or their NQT/ECT folder. Each page has the teacher standard outlined along with ideas for evidence! These can be inserted into plastic dividers that have a cover sleeve and used as covers/dividers within evidence standards folders.
