Reviewer and supporter statements

Reviewer statements

A reviewer can make a statement or give feedback when:

• giving a progress report
• making a recommendation on Full Registration

Supporter statements

When a provisionally registered teacher (PRT) submits a teaching block and requests a progress report, they can request a supporter statement. This statement should give an overall summary of the PRT's induction progress, including:

• areas where the PRT is performing well
• areas for improvement

The purpose of this statement is to inform the reviewer’s decision.  

What should be included in a reviewer or supporter statement?

We recommend that statements reference the 3 areas of the Standard for Full Registration (SFR) to help structure your comments:

1. Being a teacher in Scotland
2. Professional knowledge and understanding
3. Professional skills and abilities

If you are a reviewer, and:

• mark the PRT's progress as a 'cause for concern' or 'unsatisfactory
• make a recommendation not to award Full Registration

you should outline which areas of the SFR are not yet met or are or are causing concern.
