Chartered Teacher Programme
‘CTeach has been the best professional development of my career, providing me with support and guidance to implement evidence based practice in my classroom.’ – Alison Benn, Teacher of Maths, Beaumont School
Beaumont School and Sir John Lawes School are proud to be working in partnership to provide the Chartered Teacher Programme, accredited by the Chartered College of Teaching. This is a teacher certification programme lasting around 15 months, aligned to the Chartered College’s aims to raise the status of the profession and support teachers to acquire the expertise necessary to maintain excellence in teaching and secure the best outcomes for children and young people.
Successful completion of the programme confers participants with Chartered Teacher Status, which recognises the knowledge, skills and behaviours of excellent teachers, highlights the importance of their expertise in supporting the learning of children and young people and celebrates teaching as a career in its own right, without requiring a formal leadership position. In order to complete the programme and achieve Chartered Teacher Status, participants will undertake a range of different assessments that allow them to showcase their knowledge and skills against the areas set out in the Chartered College’s Professional Principles. Assessments include completion of a personal learning plan, participation in written discussions, a research-based improvement project, a portfolio of reflections on individual teaching practice and exams focussed on the participant’s specialist subject/phase. Participants will submit their assessments via an online platform, which also provides access to reading lists and supporting materials, and through which they will be provided with feedback. Those who complete the programme successfully will be invited to a presentation and award event organised by the Chartered College and will have the right to use the postnominal ‘CTeach’ once Chartered Teacher Status is awarded. Participants who complete the programme with Beaumont School and Sir John Lawes School will benefit from:
