Maintaining Accreditation

The whys, hows, whats and whens.

Why?

• As a NST (New Scheme teacher) you are required to complete a T2 report every 5 years of your teaching career.

• Lets look at one now.• http://new-scheme-teachers.wikispaces.com/

Maintaining+Accreditation

How do I track my evidence?• You must complete 50 hours of teacher

Identified (TI) hours and 50 hours of Institute registered (IR) hours every five years.

• You must have these cover every standard of Element 6 and at least 1 standard from every other element.

• The very best way to track your pl is by using mypl@det. Let us now look at an example:

• We do not always get to a computer, so please here is a way to track pl until you have time to get to mypl.

to be double entered on Institute site, IR will transfer over.

Professional Learning Log

How do I get some IR PL?

• The Classroom Teacher Program (CTP) is an excellent source of IR PL.

• Let us take a look at it now…

CTP

Where do I start with CTP?

• If you have not already done so, you should complete the module Developing your personal professional learning plan.

• This module is available for registration via mpl@det and I can validate that for you. Let’s look:

Registering for module.

Where to now?

• Now that you have completed your professional learning plan, you should have some idea of what elements you need to focus on.

• Lets go back to the CTP and see what might suit….• When you find one that suits your needs, we can

use some TPL time to release you to complete these modules. Also, I will schedule them on mypl so you can enrol and I can validate your learning.

Getting to the CTP

Now what…

• Please spend the remainder of the workshop exploring mypl and CTP to develop a plan of action to support your personal PL and your maintenance of accreditation.
