Professional Update is a scheme of reaccreditation for teachers which the GTCS is developing at the request of the Scottish government.
The government wants the scheme to help “maintain and improve the quality” of teachers and to “maintain and enhance” teachers’ CPD in Scotland.
A further nine local authorities are taking part in the next phase, which will involve teachers from all types of school trialling the practical operation of the scheme.
The national roll-out of Professional Update is planned to start in August 2014.
A GTCS statement said: “The purpose of the pilot is to gather information about the practical operation of a scheme of Professional Update and thus ensure it will support teachers in the Professional Review and Development process.”
