Dear Teacher,
The College of Teaching
I am writing to ask for your support in supporting and promoting the launch of the new College of Teaching.
The College of Teaching is the new independent chartered professional body for the teaching profession. Unlike almost every other profession, teaching has lacked a strong, independent professional body, led by teachers, responsible for promoting high professional standards and supporting professional development and best practice. With the launch of the College of Teaching, that is about to change.
As part of its contribution to the common good, the Church has been at the forefront of every major development in this country’s education system, and it would be good if we could be at the forefront of this important development. The Churches created the first infrastructure for educating the vast majority of the poor in the early nineteenth century. We founded the first Teacher Training Colleges, and pioneered the formation and education of teachers, recognising how central this was to improving outcomes for pupils.
The Catholic Education Service has been a firm supporter of the idea of a Chartered College from the beginning. We are now asking teachers to support the founding of the new College, and to raise awareness of the College and its importance among their colleagues.
For more information about the College and details of ‘The Big Staff Meeting’ which is being promoted as a means of raising awareness, visit the Claim your College website (www.claimyourcollege.org) or use the links below. It would be great if you could find time before spring half-term to engage in the consultation about membership, to pledge your support, and to encourage your colleagues to do the same.
Wishing you a Happy New Year,
Paul Barber
