A coalition of respected educational charities has put forward its proposals for a Royal College of Teaching in response to the government's call for "expressions of interest".
A Department for Education consultation into how it might support the creation of a College of Teaching while ensuring the body remained independent closed on Tuesday (February 3). The consultation invited "initial proposals from interested parties".
The Claim Your College coalition, which comprises the Prince's Teaching Institute, the Teacher Development Trust, the SSAT and the existing College of Teachers – a charity focused on awarding and accrediting qualifications – has made a submission.
The 26-page document proposes a College that is independent and voluntary and emphasises that the body must not "regulate, be compulsory or have a disciplinary role".
