The Golden Thread of Teacher Development | Department for Education Briefing

Last week, the Department for Education (DfE) presented a live webinar to discover how to support staff at all levels and access the wide-ranging support available from the Department to improve staff experiences and ultimately improve pupil outcomes. The event also featured guest Headteachers who shared their passion for teacher development and discussed examples of how the programmes are supporting the staff and young people in their settings.

The webinar included: 

• An overview of the Golden Thread, and the high-quality, ongoing training opportunities.
• The benefits of helping to train the next generation of teachers by hosting ITT trainees in your schools, and the support available to you.​
• The advantages of the DfE-funded provider-led Early Career Framework (ECF) based programmes, what we are doing to improve their implementation and delivery, and how we are supporting schools, Early Career Teachers and Mentors to understand them. 
• The National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) available to staff across the country, the unprecedented available support , and how to access the qualifications.
