lifelong learning
• Teachers and trainers are reflective and enquiring practitioners who think
critically about their own educational assumptions, values and practice in the
context of a changing contemporary and educational world. They draw on
relevant research as part of evidence-based practice.
• They act with honesty and integrity to maintain high standards of ethics and
professional behaviour in support of learners and their expectations.
• Teachers and trainers are ‘dual professionals’; they are both subject and/or
vocational specialists and experts in teaching and learning. They are committed
to maintaining and developing their expertise in both aspects of their role to
ensure the best outcomes for their learners.

These standards relate to the need for teachers to
continually review their values, assumptions and
knowledge against up to date professional developments
in the world in which they work, drawing on evidence
based practice. They emphasise the need to identify of

improvement of skills in maths, English and technology.

organisations.
