    Our Teacher Talent Pathway (TTP) is designed to support the development of teachers and provide a career pathway suited to goals and aspirations.

    We recognise the importance of high-quality teaching staff and we have put together a comprehensive Teacher Talent Pathway programme that will support our new and existing talent to becoming the best educators to our students. As we know, we are #StrongerTogether.

    Our SCL Teacher Talent Pathway programme consists of three key components: Teacher competencies (Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours), Teacher Talent Pathway Plan (which includes annual plan and PDP within our internal system ‘Grow’) and the Certification at each level.

    The purpose of the Teacher Talent Pathway (TTP) is:
    To provide transparency to teaching staff
    To provide a framework of development, as well as assessing current capability
    To ensure teachers are given accountability for their progress
    To encourage valuable conversations between teacher and line manager (e.g. assess level of self-awareness)
    To build a positive culture (specifically around behaviours)
    To provide a pipeline of staff progression (e.g. future leaders)
    To review business objectives and personal development plan regularly

    TEACHER COMPETENCIES


    Several knowledge, skills, and behaviours have been identified for effective teaching within SCL. Each certification point will require a level of evidence to represent the progression in self-development, this will be recorded in ‘Grow’ as part of the internal review process, encouraging excellent developmental discussions between the teacher and line manager.

    TEACHER TALENT PATHWAY PLAN


    The Teacher Talent Pathway Plan is divided into three sections and executed using our Development and Review tools, Learn and Grow. The Annual Review encourages reflection over the previous academic year. The Annual Plan provides clarity of teacher objectives for the current academic year from a business perspective (supported by KPIs). The Talent Pathway review records progress against teacher competencies (KSBs) throughout the academic year, to ensure you each reflect and develop as individuals.

    CERTIFICATION


    To continually develop all delivery staff, teachers will be given an opportunity to attend additional training and take on additional responsibility. Upon demonstrating their overall impact, the teacher can apply for certification at the appropriate level. As a result of their effort and impact, a teacher may be rewarded financially.
