Registration with the General Teaching Council for England (GTCE) Presentation by Mark Fieldsend
What is the GTCE? • Set up in 2001 • Independent professional body for teaching • 3 main roles • Register • Regulate • Advise • Additionally the GTCE awards Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
Who needs to register with the GTCE? • Two types of registration • Full • Qualified Teachers (564045) • Provisional • Trainee Teachers (49363) • Overseas Trained Teachers (4590) • Instructors (8111) (Figures from Jan 2010)
Data Collected by the GTCE (1) Qualifications and QTS • First/initial degree details • Teacher training details • Induction • AST • NPQH
Data Collected by the GTCE (2) • Registration • Personal details • Employment details • Diversity Forms are available from the GTCE website
Information on Science Teachers • The GTC does not specifically segregate teachers with science specialism's however information is available on; • First/initial degree subjects • Teacher training subject specialism’s (With over two thousand of degree subject classifications of which over 300 are science related and over 60 science related science related teaching subject specialism’s the following slides do carry a health warning)
Information on Science Teachers • In addition to the data the GTCE holds on teachers which is linked to employment another useful resource is the DCSF School Workforce Census.
Other Issues • Licence to Practise • GTCE likely to administer • Likely to carry an entitlement to CPD • Likely to be linked to performance management which does cover pedagogic and subject knowledge
