Chartered Status around the UK
An overview, a comparison,and thoughts on the future.
Objectives• To gain an understanding of the widest context of
the term 'chartered status'• To understand how the term is used in education in
England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales and why it is manifested differently to other professions
• Begin to appreciate the difficulties with implementing chartered status in education
• To identify ways to strengthen and develop existing provision
Background• What is chartered status?• Chartered organisation or individual
achievement• For individuals, it is the licence to practice or a
gold standard of professional practice• Commonalities between all industries• Benchmarking and public understanding
England• There is no national system• Chartered Geographer (CGeog Teacher)• Chartered London Teacher• Chartered Science Teacher (CSci Teach)• Chartered Mathematics Teacher (CMathTeach)
Northern Ireland• No chartered teacher status...• The 27 teacher competences have been
organised within 3 broad areas throughout ITT, in service standard and CPD:– Professional Values and Practice– Professional Knowledge and Understanding– Professional Skills and Application
Scotland• The only national scheme currently in
operation• Developed as a recruitment and retention
programme• Ultimate purpose is still unclear• This itself generates confusion amongst
teachers
Wales• Two routes – via HEI partnership and via
professional portfolio• Responsibilities similar to Scotland• Ultimately difficult to qualify in practice• Economic models difficult to balance in a
difficult climate
What can we learn and where do we go next?• Does the profession need CTS?• Beyond personal satisfaction, what are the real
benefits of chartered status?• Should there be greater collaboration across the
UK or should schemes be regionalised?• How do we best promote understanding of
chartered status and what it can achieve for teaching and learning?
• What is the way forward from here?
