A study of teachers’ views about the proposed College of Teaching has shown strong support for the idea. The Commission set-up by the Prince’s Teaching Institute to develop the proposal said the strongest support was for “a body to provide a voice for teachers on: professional standards, educational policy, raising the status of teaching in society, and advising policy-makers on curriculum, assessment and school inspection”. The Commission’s online survey was completed by nearly 1,200 teachers and headteachers and there was also support for the College to set teacher-defined standards, structure CPD and promote the use of research. Membership should be voluntary, respondents said, while more than 60 per cent said they would be prepared to pay a membership fee of between £75 and £175 a year.
