Chartered College of Teaching officially opens
The Chartered College of Teaching has opened its doors for new members to join.
The Chartered College of Teaching, which was first proposed in 2012, aims to be a voluntary, teacher-led organisation which will support professional development, promote and share evidence-informed practice, and recognise excellence. The college will also allow members to access education research journals.
The college will be independent of government and the unions, though the Department for Education has given £5m of funding to the College over four years to get it started.
The college, headed by Dame Alison Peacock, costs £39 to join for an introductory period, with wider membership details to follow.
Alison Peacock has said the college aims to build an “authoritative, collective voice” about teaching, inspired and informed by research and stories of practice.
