The vision and mission of CfTE: meeting the objectives of the Scottish Government

The Centre for Teaching Excellence is being established with a key role in supporting teachers develop their pedagogical expertise. The core focus of the Centre is to support teachers, including those in Gaelic Medium Education, lead and engage with research and evidence to develop their practice and deliver excellent teaching and learning.

Education Scotland will lead curriculum design, delivery and improvement, including the provision of resources to support high quality learning and teaching. In addition, it will continue to support professional learning and have oversight through a national framework as well as working with local authorities to inform approaches to wellbeing, inclusion, behaviour and enabling better support for those with additional support. More information can be found here: Education Scotland.

A range of organisations will also continue to provide teachers with different forms of support for professional learning, including through schools and/or local authorities.
