Following on from the seminal book The Early Career Framework: Origins, Outcomes and Opportunities (2022) edited by Tanya Ovenden-Hope, this new book written by Tanya Ovenden-Hope and Holly Kirkpatrick explores the expectations set by the Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy (2019) and insights into the experiences of those closest to the ECF. Ovenden-Hope and Kirkpatrick examine the golden thread of teacher training and professional development since 2019, focusing on the lived experiences of ECTs and mentors in Year Two of the ECF, and offering provocations to understand the successes and failures that led to a revised framework of training and development with the ITTECF. ECT attrition remains high in England with one quarter leaving teaching within three years. As a strategy for teacher recruitment and the retention, it will be interesting to see if the ITTECF does better than its predecessor frameworks.

A fascinating family and social history and a savage indictment of the role of child slavery in the growth of the Industrial Revolution, Catherine Taylor, author of The Stirrings: A Memoir in Northern TimeWe all think we know the tale. As a child, Charles Dickens was forced to work in a mouldering Thames-side blacking factory, an event that scarred him for life and inspired Oliver Twist. Except that s only part of the story. In reality, Dickens appropriated the stories of foundlings and orphans - including Robert Blincoe, whose memoir supplied the source material for his great novel of childhood. In Oliver Twist Me, novelist Nicholas Blincoe presents a dual biography of Dickens and his great-great-great-grandfather Robert, showing how the story of an orphan took off in different directions, helping Dickens project himself as an inimitable literary one-off, just as Robert s memoir of a workhouse boy gave a voice to the masses.From London and Kent to the factories of Manchester, Blincoe retraces the steps of both men, along the way discovering the Camden workhouse that inspired Dickens and revisiting the great stage musical. His journeys with his family and his dog Fredo lead him to an affectionate reassessment of a beloved classic, while also revealing how Dickens shaped the story of his lonely childhood to suppress his debt to his family, hide his affairs and, as his career ignited, abandon the people who had helped him. By playing off the lives of a working-class hero and a classic author, Oliver Twist Me reveals Dickens - and his world - as they have never been seen before.
