Revised Standard for Full Registration (GTCS)
Date: 24.09.07
The General Teaching Council for Scotland’s revised Standard for Full Registration was launched on 24 September 2007.

Revised Standard for Full Registration

 

The Standard for Full Registration serves three main purposes for Scottish teachers. It provides:

  • a clear and concise description of professional qualities and capabilities teachers are expected to develop in the course of induction
  • a professional standard against which reliable and consistent decisions can be made on the fitness of new teachers for full registration with the GTCS
  • a baseline professional standard which will apply to all teachers throughout their careers.

While the first two purposes relate to new teachers, it is the third one - a baseline professional standard which will apply to all teachers throughout their careers - which makes the SFR significant to all Scottish teachers.
