Taking Centre Stage as an ECT is a proposed Webinar Series for the academic year 2021-2022. The webinar series will be organised and delivered by We Teach Drama, in collaboration with Open Drama UK. Lucy Bellingham (WTD) will be joined by co-host Holly Barradell (Open Drama UK). Holly has been working on the ‘roll out’ of the Early Career Framework and is an Assistant Principal, with responsibility for ECTs across the trust she works for. Holly is also a Drama specialist teacher.
The series will follow a group of Secondary Drama ECTs throughout the year, as they take part in three scheduled webinars in October 2021, Feb and May 2022. We are looking for a group of ECTs who can commit to all three webinars and play an important role in creating a unique and informative year-long CPD programme for ECTs and their mentors.
Each webinar will take the format of a Q & A session, with ECTs providing an update on their experiences, highlights, and challenges. All webinars will be free for teachers to attend on Zoom and will be available to access on the We Teach Drama and Open Drama UK YouTube Channels.
