Facilitators
Inspire Learning Teaching School Hub has chosen UCL as our Lead Partner to deliver the fully funded ECF programme and all NPQ programmes which are available free of charge to all maintained schools in our Hub area.
The ECF programme is delivered through a cluster model to Early Career Teachers (ECTs).
The NPQ programmes are delivered in cohorts starting in Autumn and Spring of each academic year.
What does the role involve?
Early Career Framework facilitators will be working with Early Career Teachers and their mentors in the first two years of their teaching career, delivering a series of face-to-face and online sessions using materials prepared as part of the UCL Early Career Teacher Programme.
NPQ facilitators will be working on specific specialist or leadership programmes lasting between 12 and 18 months, delivering a series of face-to-face and online sessions using materials prepared as part of the UCL National Professional Qualifications
Time commitment and start date
ECF: We expect to need lead facilitators for about 8.5 days a year (this includes time for planning), working with both ECTs and mentors, and including time spent training for the facilitator role itself. A typical face-to-face session lasts two hours, online sessions last one hour and sessions will be spread across the school year. The time commitment decreases in year 2 of the ECF programme.
NPQs: The time commitment for NPQs varies according to programme.
All materials for the sessions are supplied by UCL, therefore there will not be excessive preparation time involved.
What CPD benefits are there to becoming a facilitator?
- An understanding of excellent practice in leading adult learning.
- An understanding of how evidence-based practice can be used to develop professional development.
- For ECF: an in-depth understanding of the new statutory requirements for the registration, induction, mentoring and assessment requirements, as regulated and quality assured by the new Appropriate Bodies for ECF.
Payment
Inspire Learning Teaching School Hub will pay trained facilitators for each professional development session or programme at an equivalent rate of £350 per day for ECF and specialist NPQs. The rate for leadership programmes varies and will be stated at interview.
How to apply
Please complete the online application form and ensure that you have a supporting statement from your head teacher (or governing body if a head teacher/relevant line manager if a consultant working outside of a school context).
