Research School Network: A Treasure Trove of Evidence- what underpins the ITT and ECF frameworks? Introducing a brand new resource produced by the EEF

The Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework (ITTECF) lays out ​‘the entitlement of every trainee and early career teacher (ECT) to the core body of knowledge, skills and behaviours that define great teaching’.


The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) has independently assessed and endorsed the claims made within the framework – particularly the ​‘Learn that’ knowledge statements – to ensure they accurately reflect the evidence sources from which they have been drawn.


The EEF have created the Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework Reference Map. This document gives accredited providers of initial and early career teacher training a list of the relevant references from the framework reference list that are associated with each of the ​‘Learn that’ statements. This is intended to support providers to see how the reference list for each framework section maps to the specific ​‘Learn that’ statements.
