We are in the process of planning an Early Career Teachers (ECTs) conference for all first and second year ECTs in Royal Greenwich schools. It would be really helpful if you could provide the contact details for any ECTs at your school using the following form: https://forms.gle/LjvQQN9pj7xM5bqJ9.
Please complete the form for each first and second year ECT at your school.
It would be helpful if you could fill this out by Friday 11th October; it should only take 5 minutes.
Once contact details have been confirmed, we plan to provide ECTs with a digital package of information and resources. We will also contact them with further details about the ECT conference taking place on Friday 14th February 2024 from 0900 – 1500. Please confirm on the form whether your ECT(s) would like to attend.
