Online Roundtable: How to raise the status of the profession and increase the attractiveness for those joining the profession later or joining from other industries

In order to support the work of the Teaching Commission, we are running a series of roundtables. These will be an opportunity for Fellows and members to engage with topics discussed at the meetings of the Teaching Commission and to get their voices heard. Roundtables will typically take place a day before the official meeting of the Teaching Commission and attended by at least one member of the commission who will feed back discussions to the commission.

The third online roundtable in this series will focus on raising the profile of teaching as an attractive profession. Discussions around the recruitment of teachers from industry or joining the profession as a later recruit and what they will need for their success in teaching. It will also discuss what we can learn from these career changers to enhance the teaching profession. It will be hosted by Baroness Mary Bousted FCCT and Dr Robin Bevon FCCT and will take place on 10th April, 4-5pm.

The session will be hosted by Lisa Maria Muller (Head of Research and Policy) and Chaired by Baroness Mary Bousted FCCT and Dr Robin Bevon FCCT, members of the Teaching Commission.
