3. Building the College together The College’s ambition must be to lead the profession in creating a vibrant, respected community of excellent practitioners with a common moral compass; one which speaks for the whole profession to encourage policies and practices we know to be appropriate and to resist and argue against those patently not. Iain Hulland, Executive Headteacher The College must set standards; it must inspire; it must build collaboration. It must share research effectively. It should help inspire and make young teachers feel valued, whilst at the same time use the best of the knowledge and skills of those who are more experienced. Dom Miller, Leader of English My vision for the College is one of enabling excellence to flourish throughout the profession and for highly successful approaches to be amplified and taken to scale. Alison Peacock, Executive Headteacher The long-term benefits could be extraordinary. If we are to finally free ourselves from top-down policymaking and call ourselves professionals, we must embed research into our practice and a Chartered College will help us do this.

Imbed the difficulties, intensity and reality of classroom practice across our organisation. Innovate with evidence. To bring the teaching profession to the same level as others, we will need innovative approaches to professionalism, underpinned by rigorous evidence. Be a platform, not an ivory tower. There are organisations and individuals who are doing extraordinary work in education. We want to work with and add value to these organisations. Radical transparency.
