On 12th January 2008, a meeting was held at the GTCS in Edinburgh to establish an Association of Chartered Teachers. Those present discussed what ethos such a group might wish to develop and agreed a number of activities with which such a group might engage. A small steering group was formed in order to take this forward to a stage where a committee could be elected.
The steering group will present a report on progress so far after the plenary session at the Chartered Teacher conference on Saturday 7th June 2008, in Edinburgh. This will be an opportunity for all Chartered Teachers to become more actively involved in the new Association.
From Sunday 1st June further information will be available to download from this site.
If you are attending the GTCS Chartered Teacher conference, please join us for the ACTS update at 3.30pm in the lecture theatre
