THE NATIONAL CONTEXT OF TEACHER EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT REFORMS
We are entering a major period of change in 'Teacher Education and Development', with a completely new set of national standards, a freshly validated and externally endorsed ser of awards, and new regulations for teaching qualifications and Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
Lifelong Learning UK are the key organisation regarding much of the reforms in Initial Teacher Training. Their web site as at:
http://www.lluk.org/ittreforms/2760.htm
They have stated:
'The Government is committed to a well qualified and professional workforce across the Further Education sector.
To achieve this it is introducing important reforms to the training and qualifications of all teachers, trainers, lecturers and instructors from September 2007. The reforms include:
- Revised teaching qualifications for new teachers and a professional status for all teachers in community learning and development, further education, offender learning and work based learning.
- Continuing Professional Development requirements for all teachers.
- Principals' Qualifications for all newly appointed principals of further education institutions.
The reformed Initial Teacher Training (ITT) pathways will see all teachers, trainers, lecturers and instructors working toward either Associate Teacher, Learning and Skills (ATLS) status or Qualified Teacher, Learning and Skills (QTLS) status.
All teachers, trainers, lecturers and instructors, including those working before 2001, will be required to fulfil at least 30 hours of continuing professional development (CPD) each year, with reduced amounts for those on sessional, fractional or part-time contracts.
LLUK offer a free advice service, if you wish to seek further information please call between 9am and 5.30pm, Mon - Fri on: 020 7936 5798. (LLUK 2007)
