President’s Report for the Year 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021

Entering my third year as President of the Chartered College of Teaching, the professional body for teachers, I continue to feel honoured to lead �������������������������������������������������������������������������� support teachers during this hugely challenging year.

We have been working hard to celebrate, support and connect teachers, who have truly been exceptional in this period of global uncertainty. Teachers were at the front line of the COVID-19 response – continuing to support pupils despite partial school closures and enabling other key workers to carry out their roles. Our members have worked tirelessly to support children and young people during this period.

����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� of research, resources and insight, much of which has been developed in the context of the COVID-19. The launch of The Education Exchange (a site where teachers and other educators globally can share their views and experiences and discuss key issues in education), Teach Together (a teacher wellbeing text message support service) and a busy programme of online webinars and events were all designed to support teachers and members during the pandemic, in addition to termly issues of our award-winning journal, Impact , and our Chartered Teacher Programme. The Chartered College focused on bringing the profession together and giving teachers a platform for their voices to be heard and their expertise to be respected. We were fortunate to have heard from a huge number of our members at our various webinars, sharing �������������������������������������������������������������������� Education in Times of Crisis reports published by the Chartered College throughout the year have been shaped by member experiences and have been invaluable to the profession in navigating through the pandemic and looking towards the future. The organisation has also stepped up to advocate on behalf of members and the profession as a whole in the face of government guidance that has kept changing and arriving at the last minute. I know that so many teachers have appreciated the voice of the Chartered College of Teaching over the last year.

The charity has made great strides in working towards its long-term vision. We continue to ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� of the Charity’s resources. The organisation has grown to over 40,000 members, which is an extraordinary achievement in just over four years. Members of the Chartered College of Teaching are now reaching over three million pupils in the UK. I am delighted that all categories of membership, including individual and group members, have decided to join and renew membership this year. We have also seen our Chartered Teacher Programme go from strength to strength, with pilots of a regional provider-based model and a leadership route to Chartered Status (funded by the Mercers’ Charitable Foundation), as well as the successful completion of a project to pilot a CPD Quality Assurance process, funded by Wellcome.

It was with great sadness that we mourned the passing of our patron, His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh K.G., K.T. in April 2021. The Chartered College was fortunate to have had a patron so keen to celebrate the work of our teachers and deeply valued their work to change lives every single day.

Chief Executive’s Report for the Year 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021

Over the last year, COVID-19 placed unprecedented levels of pressure �������������������������������������������������������������������� fears everyone experienced, teachers have also been supporting children, colleagues and their local communities. In light of these challenges facing the education sector and our members during the pandemic, the Chartered ������������������������������������������������������������������� ��������������������������������������������������������������������������

We launched a suite of resources to support remote learning, set up a free wellbeing text service – Teach Together – for any educational professional who subscribed, published research reports on distance learning and the impact on teaching, launched the Early Career Hub for students, NQTs and mentors, and ran a range of online events to support teachers. We have also placed teachers at the heart of the conversation looking towards the future of teaching with the launch of our global platform – The Education Exchange. Throughout, the Chartered College has offered a different, non-partisan voice for teachers. We are not frightened of speaking truth to power and have spoken up on the injustice of examinations and the unacceptable delays which have prevented teachers from knowing what is going on. All of this has been driven by the views of teachers.

Membership growth and retention has remained strong this year despite pressures on the teaching community. As well as redesigning the Chartered Teacher Programme to be delivered fully online, we opened applications for our Excellence in School Leadership ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ Endowment Foundation) and CPDA QA (funded by the Wellcome Trust), and the Journal Clubs project (also funded by the Wellcome Trust) continues to progress well. Four issues of Impact were published, including a whole-school special issue kindly funded by the Pears Foundation, new functions were added to MyPD and we launched our research MOOC. Our online programme of events, including regular webinars, have enabled our members to engage with their professional learning remotely. We understand the critical importance of ���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

In my many online interactions with members, I have continued to be impressed by their dedication and commitment to the children and young people they teach. They have told me of the positive impact that the Chartered College of Teaching is having on celebrating, supporting and connecting teachers, particularly during this challenging time. Teachers need to be recognised for their knowledge and expertise in making a difference to the lives of young people, and the Chartered College of Teaching has been focusing on doing just that over the past year. Teachers have told me that our research, including Impact , The Early Career Framework Handbook and our Education in Times of Crisis series, has supported them to develop their expertise and knowledge of effective practice, and that membership of ����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� decisions for their pupils.

The Chartered College of Teaching started as the College of Preceptors in 1846 and was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1849 as a professional membership and awarding body for teachers. On 15 May 1998, a Supplemental Charter changed its name to ‘The College of Teachers’. A further Supplemental Charter of 18 July 2017 changed its name to ‘The Chartered College of Teaching’ and facilitated a change in the College’s role to establish a more widely based independent professional body for the teaching profession by collaborating with a number of ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ the educational system.

�������������

The Chartered College of Teaching is the professional body for the teaching profession and has the power to award the professional status of Chartered Teacher. Its charitable objects are ‘the promotion of sound learning and the improvement and ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������

a. Vision and mission

The purpose of the Chartered College of Teaching is to raise the standards and status of the profession by being the professional body for teachers.

The Chartered College of Teaching’s vision is that ‘teachers are working in a researchinformed way to provide the best possible education for children and young people’.

The Chartered College of Teaching’s mission is ‘celebrating, supporting and ����������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Together we will raise the status of the teaching profession’.

Our activities

In the period April 2020 – March 2021 the Chartered College of Teaching established ������������������������������������������������������������������������������

The Chartered Teacher Programme

The Chartered Teacher Programme is a rigorous assessment route for expert teachers to receive recognition in the form of Chartered Status and is a key focus of the Chartered College of Teaching. 120 teachers graduated and were awarded Chartered Teacher status in March 2021. The third cohort started in 2020, with selected regional providers supporting the growth of the programme. A new route for school leaders to achieve Chartered Teacher Status was also launched in February 2021, and a short course leading to credits towards Chartered Status, the ���������������������������������������������������������������������

In the last year we have endeavoured to adapt to the challenges the COVID-19 has imposed on the profession, with a wealth of digital resources available to support our members at this time.

�������������������

From April 2020 to March 2021, in response to the social distancing and safety requirements of the pandemic, we were unable to run our local network or national face-to-face events. We therefore launched a series of online events and webinars which drive engagement for our members and across the profession. To the end of March 2021 we ran 48 online events, with nearly 25,000 total bookings. We will continue to focus on delivering content online, whilst reviewing the opportunities for face-to-face networking in the longer term. We also ran our AGM virtually in November 2020, which proved popular with those attending, and so will continue with this format in 2021.

Plans for 2021/22

�������������������������������������������������������������������������������� during the context of the challenging external environment of the global pandemic. New products and services such as Teach Together, The Education Exchange and The Early Career Framework Handbook were launched to support teachers, and membership grew to over 40,000.

A second report followed in July 2020, focusing on school reopening plans and potential long-term implications for education.
