Infomation for all new Teachers:
General Teaching Council for Scotland
The Register of teachers in Scotland is a database containing the name, contact details, registration number, registration status, and qualifications of every teacher qualified to teach in a local authority school in Scotland. You need to maintain registration to teach in Scotland.
The GTCS suite of Professional Standards have been revised and provide a framework for teachers to examine, inform, and continually develop their thinking and practice.
Engagement in the Professional Update process is a requirement for registration with GTCS. Teachers in Scotland are required to engage in professional learning, self-evaluate this learning using the GTCS Professional Standards, and maintain a record of this learning using the Gateway CPD profile. Every five years confirmation of this engagement is required, further information can be found on the GTCS website.
