Abstract

It has long been recognised that there is a teacher recruitment and retention crisis in the UK, with formal governmental acknowledgement culminating in the Education Select Committee report of Feb 2017 on this topic. The report highlighted the need for a long-term, evidence-based plan to tackle the challenges associated with teacher supply, with a greater emphasis on improving teacher retention and raising the status of the profession. As part of this improvement, high-quality, relevant continuing professional development is required for teachers to continually develop their practice and in order to create future leaders. On the recommendations of the consultation on ‘Strengthening QTS and Improving Career Progression for Teachers’, the Department for Education (2018) committed to the development of an Early Career Framework of support and mentoring for all NQTs. This chapter will explore the process of this development, from its inception, the EEF-funded RETAIN pilot and the exploratory research, through the pilot projects to the statutory framework that came into force in September 2021.
