"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."

Induction of Early Career Teachers
Croydon Education Partnership, on behalf of Croydon local authority, uses a ‘paperless’ online system for managing the administration of the induction process for ECTs in England.
Our portal offers an online database that allows Early Career Teachers’ induction process to be managed in one place. The system has been developed to conform to the latest Department of Education (DfE) standards, ensuring that your ECTs spend their time learning to teach, rather than filling in paperwork.
The Guidance and Standards that can be downloaded from the links in the left-side menu of this page describes arrangements for every early career teacher to complete a two year period of induction.
Further advice and guidance can be obtained from Christine Lonsdale on 07920 657797 or christine.lonsdale@croydon.gov.uk
