Professional Aspiration

All teachers, through professional growth and sustained and substantial performance and contribution to the College, can aspire to progression.

All teachers who have met threshold standards and who are paid on the upper pay spine play a critical role in the life of the College. They provide a role model for teaching and learning, making a distinctive contribution to the raising of student standards and contribute effectively to the work of the wider team. They take advantage of appropriate opportunities for professional development and use outcomes effectively to improve students' learning. These teachers should make a sustained and substantial contribution once progression has happened. The teacher must show that she/he has 'grown professionally post threshold' by developing their teaching expertise.
