Who is it for? Practising classroom teachers (including middle leaders and some senior leaders with teaching responsibilities).
Chartered Status is a professional learning and accreditation pathway supporting career-long development. Our Chartered Teacher pathway is for accomplished classroom teachers, giving you the opportunity to engage with education research to hone your skills and be recognised for your teaching expertise.
Teachers and leaders who have achieved Chartered Status say they are more confident, use research and evidence to inform their approaches, and are more effective in their role. Gaining Chartered Status benefits the individual, their school and the children and young people they teach.
To be awarded Chartered Teacher Status you will need to demonstrate that you meet each of the Chartered Teacher Professional Principles, as defined in the Chartered College of Teaching Professional Framework. You will do this by completing a series of certified CPD units, undertaking assessments within each unit to showcase your professional expertise across a range of areas. These units are accessed via an online platform, allowing you to work towards Chartered Teacher Status at a pace that best suits you. Typically it takes around 1-2 years to complete the pathway. Individuals who are awarded Chartered Status are able to use the postnominals ‘CTeach’ in recognition of this significant achievement.
