What is Professional Recognition

GTC Scotland’s Professional Recognition is an award that recognises the enhanced, significant, sustained and reflective enquiry a teacher has undertaken and the development of their professional learning in a particular area.

Professional Recognition aligns with the Standard for Career-Long Professional Learning. The Standard is closely aligned to the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) Level 11. It describes the advanced professional knowledge and pedagogical expertise that registered teachers develop and maintain as they continue to progress in teaching and across the education profession.

You may also choose to reflect against aspects of the Standard for Middle Leadership, the Standard for Headship and, if you are a college lecturer, the Professional Standards for Lecturers in Scotland’s Colleges.
