The College of Teaching takes shape

The development of the College of Teaching continues apace, with a fundraising campaign planned and the process of appointing trustees underway. Fiona Aubrey-Smith looks at some of the key questions being asked

The beginning of 2015 saw the publication of a proposal for the start-up of the College of Teaching – a new, independent, chartered professional body.

Produced by the Claim Your College coalition, the proposal sets out a clear vision for the College – to take charge of our profession's destiny.

Achieving this includes bringing together the profession in order to act as a powerful force to continue the drive toward teaching excellence, setting aspirational professional standards, and challenging ourselves to be ever better for those that we serve.

The recruitment process for 13 founding trustees (who will come into post in early October) has been on-going since May 2015. These individuals will lead the future direction and development of the College and the names will be announced soon.
