'Significant step' as search for College of Teaching trustees begins

CPD
The process of setting up a College of Teaching has taken "a significant step forward" as the search begins to appoint 13 founding trustees.

In February, the Claim Your College coalition published its plans to establish a teacher-led College of Teaching.

The 26-page document proposes a College that is independent and voluntary and which supports the professional development of its members, provides them with access to expert knowledge and research on teaching practice, and which would establish a Code of Practice reflecting the highest standards of teaching.

The College, which would aim to become a chartered professional body, will not "regulate, be compulsory or have a disciplinary role", but could take over from government the setting of the national Teachers' Standards.

Now the coalition is seeking to appoint 13 founding trustees, who will be tasked with delivering this vision.
