All fully registered teachers who have
recency of practice, regardless of their employment situation, will need to
meet continuing professional development (CPD) and ‘suitability to teach’
requirements in order to renew their registration.
For renewal purposes, teachers involved in
supply and relief work or short term contracts have a responsibility to maintain
records of their employment/hours of teaching practice and CPD. These records
will need to be supported by Statements of Service from the range of employers,
if requested by QCT on audit.
CPD may be recorded in a format that meets
QCT requirements and best suits the individual teacher. The minimum amount of
CPD required is determined by the number of teaching days/hours within the
given year
Teachers are encouraged to be proactive in:
- • building relationships with the range of schools with which they work
- • knowing who in these schools coordinates school based professional development opportunities
- • knowing how to access information about professional development opportunities
- • seeking opportunities to join in appropriate school based activities.
An optional recording tool, developed by the
QCT, is available on the QCT website. Evidence should be verified by the
provider at the time the CPD is undertaken. At the time of renewal, teachers
will be asked by QCT whether they have met the CPD requirements according to
the number of days/hours of teaching undertaken.
Teacher records must be supported by
evidence of both the amount of teaching undertaken and CPD completed.
It is the responsibility of each teacher to
retain his/her CPD records and evidence for 12 months following the renewal of
their registration.
More information for supply and relief
teachers is available on the QCT website.
