Get Involved
The Centre for Teaching Excellence (CfTE) is being developed in collaboration with the teaching profession and wider education stakeholders. We invite colleagues across the system to participate in and contribute to our work. As the CfTE grows, we will be looking to work with teachers to ensure that our content service aligns with your needs.
If you are interested in learning more about the CfTE, follow us on social media or get in touch at cfte@glasgow.ac.uk
Take our Survey
The School of Education at the University of Glasgow was announced as the host of the Centre for Teaching Excellence (CfTE) by the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills in December 2024. The key aim of which is to support teachers, including those in Gaelic Medium Education, to actively lead and engage with research and evidence to help develop their practice and deliver excellent teaching and learning. The Centre will provide a service for all of Scotland’s teachers, supporting you to access, create and use research to further enhance classroom practice.
As a national service for teachers, it is imperative that the Centre’s priorities and ways of working are consistent with what teachers in Scottish schools say they need and want. We’re therefore inviting you to contribute your views via the CfTE National Teacher Survey.
Further information about the survey, including ethical assurances, can be accessed at the start of the survey, before the survey questions themselves. You are under no obligation to respond and are free to exit the survey at any point prior to clicking the submit button. The research has been approved by the University of Glasgow College of Social Sciences Ethics Committee.
We would be very grateful if you would consider responding to the survey and ask that you pass this invitation to other teacher colleagues if they have not yet received it through other means. The more responses we get, the better we can ensure that the CfTE truly reflects the needs of teachers across Scotland.
Please do get in touch at cfte@glasgow.ac.uk if you have any questions. We look forward to continued engagement with you as the Centre develops.
