At Education Development Trust, we improve school systems at scale and provide empowering employability and careers services to young people and adults. We own and manage a portfolio of schools and, as a not-for-profit, we invest annually in our programme of education research that informs policymaking around the world as well as our own work. What we do affects how teachers teach, leaders lead and students learn and we help to improve the life chances for all.
Accelerate was created and developed by Education Development Trust in partnership with the Chartered College of Teaching to support early-career teachers, quickly raising quality of practice and increasing confidence. Funded by the Department for Education in England the programme is for teachers working in schools which are classed as requiring improvement or are within an area defined as having the greatest need.

Laura Bell is Director of Careers at Education Development Trust and was instrumental in commissioning the report.
