• ​​​​​​Early Career Teachers
• Local and International teachers who wish to further develop their skills

CPECT can be completed alongside formal ECT induction (for those in an eligible school), but is also suitable for teachers who are not undergoing formal induction but wish to develop their practice. 

Teachers with Qualified Teacher Status(QTS) in accredited British Schools Overseas (BSO) can register for Early Career Teacher induction with a Department for Education(DFE) approved Appropriate Body should they wish to have their induction overseas certified by the DfE. For more information about ECT induction, click here. 

The programme can be used to support those in non-BSO schools to build portfolios of evidence to support future applications for a potential reduced-length ECT induction should they move to a BSO school or an eligible school in England in the future, however, it should be noted that a reduction is not guaranteed. Evidence would be reviewed by the Appropriate Body once they are employed in an eligible school home or abroad to complete their ECT.

 

Janette Quinn - COBIS - Director of Education and Professional Learning

I know from first-hand experience what a great privilege it is to be a teacher – as dedicated teachers you have the opportunity to make a real difference to so many students.  We are all learners and having dedicated time to stop and reflect with other professionals is a gift. This course will provide you with a relevant, user-friendly toolbox to support you with your ongoing journey as teachers. 

Helen Gregory - CPECT Course Facilitator

My education philosophy, underpinning all aspects of CPECT, is that all children deserve excellent teachers. The quality of the programme ECTs receive is fundamentally important to ensure ECTs can make rapid progress, develop teacher self-efficacy, and quickly become effective teachers of their subject or phase. ECTs will purposefully and systematically revisit the elements of teaching introduced in their ITT programmes to deepen their theoretical and practical knowledge and understanding.

We appreciate the numerous professionals who have contributed to the programme and shared their considerable expertise.   

The COBIS Programme for Early Career Teachers has been pivotal in my development as a Year 5 STEAM teacher. Its global collaboration aspect has allowed me to exchange insights with educators worldwide. The course's curated resources, including transformative books on classroom management, have been invaluable. I appreciate its integration of modern tools like ChatGPT sessions and psychological lectures, keeping me abreast of contemporary educational practices.

The reflective tasks embedded within the program have prompted me to continually refine my teaching approach. Furthermore, the user-friendly website, organized into clear units, facilitates easy navigation through the diverse topics covered. Overall, the COBIS Programme for Early Career Teachers has been a game-changer for me, offering a blend of global collaboration, cutting-edge resources, and reflective practices that have empowered me to thrive in my role as a young educator.

One of the principal elements of the COBIS programme is that it is impact-focused, with all reading, tasks and other resources structured to facilitate our development as early career practitioners. It is continually fulfilling to reflect on the discernible impression that this makes on my teaching every day.

Some of this reflection takes the form of discussion with other ECTs. I feel very fortunate to be part of a supportive community of similarly minded people across the globe, exchanging knowledge and experience from which to draw.

After my PGCE, I felt unsure of my next steps until I discovered the COBIS Early Career Teachers Course. While my PGCE taught me what to do, CPECT showed me how to do it. This course was incredibly helpful, offering practical tips and guidance. Connecting with educators worldwide was enriching, making me feel supported and less alone in the teaching world. The access to experienced lecturers and fellow teachers starting out was invaluable and refreshing.
