• New set of standards for the excellent teacher scheme
• Three inter-linked sections:
– professional attributes, professional knowledge and
understanding, professional skills
•
Induction standards are known as core standards, they
apply to NQTs and mainscale teachers
Building pride in Cumbria
Why have these standards been
reviewed?
• To create a coherent and progressive framework
• To support new developments emerging in the
context of new teacher professionalism including
revised performance management arrangements (in
place from autumn 2007)

Progression
Building pride in Cumbria
A Changing Landscape
• Children’s agenda
• Workforce remodelling
• Personalised learning
• Professional development
New professionalism
Building pride in Cumbria
What progression across the
standards looks like?
• The framework of professional standards is
progressive:
– post threshold teachers make a distinctive contribution to raising
standards across the school by acting as role models for teaching and
learning and providing mentoring and coaching to less experienced
teachers
– ASTs and excellent teachers provide models of excellent and innovative
teaching and use their skills to enhance teaching and learning by
undertaking and leading school improvement activities and CPD for other
teachers. ASTs also carry out developmental work across a range of
workplaces

Career Progression
•
Teachers need to demonstrate evidence that they are meeting,
maintaining and building on their attributes, professional knowledge
and understanding and skills
•
The standards clarify professional characteristics which are
maintained and built upon throughout their career
•
Teachers not aspiring to the next career stage need to identify ways
to broaden and deepen their expertise within their current career
stages.

An Overview of the Standards
• Constant
• Cumulative
• Considerations
Building pride in Cumbria
Activity 2
Progression Through The Standards
• Consider the subsection Teamwork and
Collaboration
– Begin with standards C40 & C41 and map
their progression through to A2 & A3
– Give concrete examples of what you would
expect to see at each standard
– Feedback
Building pride in Cumbria
Post Threshold Standards
A teacher being considered for the threshold would need to
meet the relevant core standards (C) and satisfy the postthreshold standards (P).
Post threshold teachers are expected to:
 continue to meet the core and post-threshold standards
 broaden and deepen their professional attributes, knowledge,
understanding and skills
 make a distinctive contribution to raising standards across
the school
 act as role models for teaching and learning
 provide regular coaching and mentoring to less experienced
teachers
Professional Standards 2007 & STPCD 2007
Building pride in Cumbria
Progression through UPS
•
Progression on UPS should be based on two successful
performance management reviews
•
To achieve progression, the achievements of postthreshold teachers and their contribution to school(s)
should have been substantial and sustained.
•
To ensure that the achievements and contribution have
been substantial and sustained, the performance
management review will need to assess that the teacher
has:
o continued to meet post-threshold standards; and
o grown professionally by developing their expertise post
threshold
STPCD 2007: Section 3, para 34 (“Clarification”)

Activity 3
Post Threshold Progression
•
•
•
In table groups, using the task sheet as a
guide, identify on post its what a postthreshold teacher needs to do, to
demonstrate progression
Each table feed back on one progression
criterion
Reflect on the implications of this activity for
your setting

and CPD
Building pride in Cumbria
Professional Standards and CPD
• The standards will support teachers in identifying
their professional development needs
• Where teachers wish to progress to the next career
stage, the next level of the framework provides a
reference point for all teachers when considering
future development
•
The standards will also support teachers in identifying
ways to broaden and deepen their expertise within
current career stages
Introduction to Professional Standards 2007
Building pride in Cumbria
CPD entitlement and expectations
• All teachers have
oa professional responsibility to be engaged in
effective, sustained and relevant professional
development throughout their careers
o a contractual entitlement to effective, sustained and
relevant professional development throughout their
careers.
•Teachers are expected to make a contribution to the
development of others

The Revised Regulations
- Five Key Areas of Difference

Review and

Roles and responsibilities
Process and timing
Building pride in Cumbria
Key Areas of Difference
Planning meeting
Classroom observation
• Objectives should contribute to improving
the progress of pupils at the school
• Performance criteria have to be specified
at the outset
• 3 hours maximum per cycle
• Appropriate, proportionate, and
focused approach
Review and
the link to pay
• Direct link between Performance
Management and pay progression at
the point of eligibility
Building pride in Cumbria
Key Areas of Difference
Roles and responsibilities
• Reviewers for teachers will be the head
teacher, who may delegate the
responsibility in its entirety, to the
teacher’s line manager
• Scope for intervention to moderate at
the planning stage by the head teacher
for teachers’ and by the Governing
Body for head teachers
Process and timing
• Clear timeline for process
• Right of appeal

Implications for PM Reviewers and
Induction Tutors
Table Discussion
• What will PM Reviewers and Induction
Tutors need in terms of:
– Knowledge?
– Skills?
– Documentation?
Building pride in Cumbria
Table Discussion
Consider as a group one or more of the following:
1.
How can we use the standards for school improvement?
2.
How can we use the standards to identify whole-school CPD
needs?
3.
How can we use the standards to assist with school self
evaluation?
4.
How will you approach the issue of longer serving UPS teachers
to whom the ‘P’ standards have come as a surprise?
ALL GROUPS: What are the key messages about the standards that
we can take back to our staff?

Link to pay
Review and the link to pay
(Regulations)
• At the end of the PM cycle, the
Reviewer meets the Reviewee to:
a) review performance throughout the
cycle against the performance
criteria specified in the planning
statement
b) where the Reviewee is eligible for
pay progression, “determine the
recommendation on pay
progression, having regard to the
results of the review”
Review and the link to pay
(Guidance)
• Reviewers only make pay
recommendations for:
o Post threshold teachers
o Leadership Group
o Advanced Skills Teachers
• No change in the arrangements for
making pay decisions. Governing body
considers recommendations and
makes decisions about pay.

“Learning organisations are where people
continually expand their capacity to create
the results they truly desire, where new and
expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured,
where collective aspiration is set free, and
where people are continually learning to see
the whole together”
