What is the Teacher Induction Scheme

The Teacher Induction Scheme (TIS) provides a guaranteed 1-year training post in a local authority to every eligible student graduating with a teaching qualification from one of Scotland’s Higher Education Institutions.

GTC Scotland is responsible for the administration of the scheme, on behalf of Scottish Government.

The scheme is not compulsory; you can choose to follow the Flexible Route instead. TIS allows provisionally registered teachers to be considered for Full Registration within one school year (190 teaching days). It offers several benefits, including:

• a maximum class contact time of 0.8 full time equivalent (GTC Scotland endorsed)
• dedicated time set aside for Professional Learning 
• access to a teacher with Full Registration for support throughout the induction year.
