Teaching in Scotland: New guidelines published

October 01 2009

The Scottish government has announced changes in how the Chartered Teacher scheme will work.

Under the new guidelines, focus will be on highlighting key leadership skills and better natural progression from the Standard for Full Registration that all teachers work towards during the first year of teaching.

Keith Brown, minister for schools and skills, said: "Chartered Teachers have much to offer in Scotland's schools, therefore I am delighted that the Standard for Chartered Teacher has been revised and improved.

"We must have a teaching profession that can rise to the challenge of providing innovative and exciting learning, which prepares our young people for the challenges of the 21st century."
