Past initiative - College of Teaching
Unlike other professions, teaching has no professional body to define and uphold high standards. Such a body would allow teachers to define the standards of professional practice, set their own professional expectations and ensure that practice is grounded in the best up-to-date evidence. Since the idea of a new College of Teaching was first broached at the 2012 Headteachers' Residential, the PTI has led the education community to establish a new member-driven professional body for teachers.
