The Standard for Chartered Teacher

The Standard for Chartered Teacher was formed as a result of 'A Teaching Profession for the 21st Century', the formal agreement between the Scottish Executive, education authorities and teachers.  It forms part of the National Framework for CPD which runs throughout the life span of a teachers' career – from induction through to headship.

In this sense, it is related to The Standard for Full Registration (SFR) through the following areas:-

• Professional knowledge and Understanding
• Professional attributes and abilities
• Professional action

However, the Standard for Chartered Teacher represents a significant enhancement of professional skill and understanding well beyond the SFR, by denoting the level of professional accomplishment teachers might seek to achieve after completing the SFR and once established in the profession.
