Real stories from ECTs, mentors, and induction tutors
It's 11:47 AM. Sarah just finished a Year 4 maths lesson on fractions. Amira, who's been struggling all term, finally had her "lightbulb moment" when Sarah used pizza slices to explain equivalent fractions.
While walking to lunch duty, Sarah pulls out her phone and logs the evidence:
Result: No Sunday evening laptop session. No forgotten details. Just real-time evidence that actually matters.
David mentors three ECTs across the Science department. Before EC Develop, he was drowning in scattered Google Docs, forgotten action points, and last-minute prep for formal reviews.
Now, his Monday morning routine takes 15 minutes instead of 2 hours:
Result: More time actually mentoring. Less time hunting for paperwork. All three ECTs feel properly supported.
Helen oversees 12 ECTs across a multi-academy trust. Before EC Develop, she was chasing mentors for updates, manually compiling reports, and constantly worried about missing Appropriate Body deadlines.
Now, her Appropriate Body reports practically write themselves:
Result: Zero missed deadlines. Complete visibility. Reports that used to take 6 hours now take 20 minutes.

Real experiences from ECTs, mentors, and induction tutors using EC Develop
"I used to spend Sunday evenings trying to remember what happened in my lessons that week. Now I just snap a photo of student work and add a quick note on my phone. When it came to my Year 1 assessment, I had everything I needed in one place. Absolute game-changer."
"As a mentor supporting three ECTs, I was drowning in paperwork. ECT Journey saves me about 4 hours a week. The automated progress reports are brilliant—everything's already there, organised by Standard. I can focus on actually mentoring rather than admin."
"We run our own school-led induction programme with 8 ECTs. Before ECT Journey, I was chasing evidence from mentors via email and trying to compile everything into Word documents. Now I can generate our Appropriate Body submission in literally one click. It's transformed how we operate."
