A focus on developing and sustaining teacher professionalism should lie at the heart of all education policy, and particularly teacher recruitment and retention.

The aim of the Chartered College of Teaching is to support evidence-informed practice in education by narrowing the research-practice gap.

The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) commissioned an Ethical Leadership Commission in June 2017. It had very strong participation from members and has already had an effect on public discourse about schools and their leadership. Our Framework, included within the report, will now help to plot the new landscape.

The Chartered College of Teaching published a review of research evidence on school closures and international approaches to education during the COVID-19 pandemic. ‘Education in the time of crisis: The potential implications of school closures for teachers and students’ is the first in a series of reports looking at the impact that both the school closures and the wider crisis may have on students’ academic achievement and socio-emotional development, as well as their impact on teachers.

The landmark project, published by the professional body for teachers, brings together over 30 different articles by some of the world’s leading researchers and practitioners showcasing trends, opportunities and challenges in developing professional learning for teachers.
