Opening in September 2022, it will be the first organisation of its kind, designing and delivering a coherent teacher development pathway from trainee through to executive headship and system leadership.\nThe Institute will be led by a world-leading faculty of expert teacher educators and base its teacher development on the best available research evidence about 'what works', as set out in the ITT, ECF, NPQ and NLE frameworks.\nLearning ever more about the most effective and efficient methods to develop trainees, teachers and leaders is critical to the success of the Department’s teacher development reforms. The Institute will use its national profile to ensure that teacher development in England goes from strength to strength. It will receive additional funding to strengthen and develop the evidence base on how to train and develop teachers most effectively. In doing this, the Institute will work in collaboration with other organisations, including the new Teaching School Hubs, so the whole sector can improve together.\nThe Institute will have two principal roles:\n• Exemplifying how to deliver ITT, the ECF, NPQs, and the NLE development programmes as part of one coherent teacher development pathway from trainee through to executive headship and system leadership. The Institute will have a particular focus on how these programmes can be delivered for maximum impact. It will use expert understanding of evidence to inform and implement effective delivery approaches, create a world-leading faculty of subject specialists and expert teacher educators, and develop models of school partnership and placement that maximise the impact of school-based training experiences. More information about the requirements for the Institute's \"exemplary delivery\" is included in the Service Specification, as part of the tender documents.\n• Supporting other organisations to understand and implement best practice and evidence in teacher development delivery. As part of this role, the Institute will work collaboratively across the teacher development sector to: contribute to the development of the teacher development evidence base by conducting primary research; synthesise and translate existing evidence; and expertly communicate the practical implications of research to the sector, supporting the ongoing improvement of the teacher development sector.\nThe Institute will be a national organisation that operates through at least four regional campuses, with delivery of programmes commencing from September 2022. The Institute will not be based in London, although one of its campuses might operate there. At least one of its campuses will be located in the North of England. It will be an independent body with a separate legal entity from the supplier or suppliers that are appointed to establish and run it, and from the Department.\nThe Institute will begin its set up and participant recruitment in early 2022 and operate most of its core functions by September 2022. The first Institute cohorts for the ECF and NPQ delivery will commence training in September 2022. The Institute will deliver a Pilot Cohort of ITT in September 2022 and expanded delivery of ITT cohorts will commence from September 2023. The Institute will commence delivery of the NLE development programme during the 2022/23 academic year, with the delivery timetable agreed through negotiation.\nThe Institute will register as a Higher Education Provider with the Office for Students in order to acquire Degree Awarding Powers. This will give the Institute the ability to independently award its own Postgraduate Certificates in Education (PGCEs) and validate the PGCEs of other HE Providers.\nFurther information can be found within the tender documents https://education.app.jaggaer.com", "value": { "amount": 121000000, "currency": "GBP" }, "contractPeriod": { "durationInDays": 2160 }, "hasRenewal": false, "secondStage": { "minimumCandidates": 3, "maximumCandidates": 3 }, "selectionCriteria": { "description": "3 candidates will be invited to negotiation.

Opening in September 2022, it will be the first organisation of its kind, designing and delivering a coherent teacher development pathway from trainee through to executive headship and system leadership.\nThe Institute will be led by a world-leading faculty of expert teacher educators and base its teacher development on the best available research evidence about 'what works', as set out in the ITT, ECF, NPQ and NLE frameworks.\nLearning ever more about the most effective and efficient methods to develop trainees, teachers and leaders is critical to the success of the Department’s teacher development reforms. The Institute will use its national profile to ensure that teacher development in England goes from strength to strength. It will receive additional funding to strengthen and develop the evidence base on how to train and develop teachers most effectively. In doing this, the Institute will work in collaboration with other organisations, including the new Teaching School Hubs, so the whole sector can improve together.\nThe Institute will have two principal roles:\n• Exemplifying how to deliver ITT, the ECF, NPQs, and the NLE development programmes as part of one coherent teacher development pathway from trainee through to executive headship and system leadership. The Institute will have a particular focus on how these programmes can be delivered for maximum impact. It will use expert understanding of evidence to inform and implement effective delivery approaches, create a world-leading faculty of subject specialists and expert teacher educators, and develop models of school partnership and placement that maximise the impact of school-based training experiences. More information about the requirements for the Institute's \"exemplary delivery\" is included in the Service Specification, as part of the tender documents.\n• Supporting other organisations to understand and implement best practice and evidence in teacher development delivery. As part of this role, the Institute will work collaboratively across the teacher development sector to: contribute to the development of the teacher development evidence base by conducting primary research; synthesise and translate existing evidence; and expertly communicate the practical implications of research to the sector, supporting the ongoing improvement of the teacher development sector.\nThe Institute will be a national organisation that operates through at least four regional campuses, with delivery of programmes commencing from September 2022. The Institute will not be based in London, although one of its campuses might operate there. At least one of its campuses will be located in the North of England. It will be an independent body with a separate legal entity from the supplier or suppliers that are appointed to establish and run it, and from the Department.\nThe Institute will begin its set up and participant recruitment in early 2022 and operate most of its core functions by September 2022. The first Institute cohorts for the ECF and NPQ delivery will commence training in September 2022. The Institute will deliver a Pilot Cohort of ITT in September 2022 and expanded delivery of ITT cohorts will commence from September 2023. The Institute will commence delivery of the NLE development programme during the 2022/23 academic year, with the delivery timetable agreed through negotiation.\nThe Institute will register as a Higher Education Provider with the Office for Students in order to acquire Degree Awarding Powers. This will give the Institute the ability to independently award its own Postgraduate Certificates in Education (PGCEs) and validate the PGCEs of other HE Providers.\nFurther information can be found within the tender documents https://education.app.jaggaer.com" }, { "releaseID": "016780-2022", "releaseDate": "2022-06-20T11:45:30+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "award", "contract" ], "value": "This award notice is to confirm that the Department for Education has awarded the Institute of Teaching (IoT) Framework Agreement to School-Led Development Trust (SLDT).\nThe Institute will have two principle roles:\n• To deliver a coherent teacher development pathway at scale.
