About Ruth- The ECT Coach
Hi, I'm Ruth — The ECT Coach
I've spent 23 years in education, including school leadership and EYFS, and I've seen teaching from pretty much every angle. I created The ECT Coach because I believe early career teachers deserve honest, practical support while they're finding their feet.
