Largely unheralded to classroom teachers, education minister Michael Gove implemented a new and reduced set of Teachers’ Standards which came into effect on September 1.
These standards replace the previous 32 core standards and further 72 standards covering all classroom teachers at all levels. The thousands of green and yellow wallcharts pinned to staffroom walls over the photocopiers will have to be removed. Tied to these new standards are revised appraisal and capability arrangements that also come into force with effect from September 1.
Finally, Ofsted is aligning its work to the new standards focusing for the most part on those teachers on the upper pay spine and ensuring performance management delivers value for money.
