ECT Mentoring from the IOP

The IOP's Stimulating Physics Networks aims to support early-career physics teachers by enhancing their teaching practices and improving retention within the profession. Since 2012, the program has attracted over 1,100 early-career teachers (ECTs) with a network of 26 mentors providing personalized, non-hierarchical support. The initiative includes various workshops and events, alongside collaboration with initial teacher education (ITE) providers. With a goal to recruit 400 trainees, the program focuses on integrating new Science Learning Partnerships to create ongoing support for physics teachers.

  1. ECT Mentoring from the IOP David Cameron Manager, Stimulating Physics Networks

  2. Objectives • Develop the teaching of early-career physics teachers • Improve the retention of physics teachers in the profession • Develop networks of physics teachers (local, regional, national)

  3. Background • Part of the Stimulating Physics Network • Operational since 2012 • Currently 26 mentors; over 1,100 ECTs registered • Characterised by light-touch, personalised, external (non-hierarchical) support. • Supplemented by local events and workshops. • Working with ITE providers and tutors. • Three years of (graded) support – ITE, NQT, NQT+1
