What is the Teacher Induction Scheme

The Teacher Induction Scheme (TIS) is a Scottish Government scheme which provides a guaranteed one year, full time placement to every eligible provisionally registered teacher in a local authority after having graduated with a teaching qualification from one of Scotland’s Higher Education Institutions.

GTC Scotland is independent and administers some aspects of the scheme as a contracted service.

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.
