Excellent Teachers

The Excellent Teacher Scheme (ETS), introduced as part of the school workforce reform agenda,  provides a new career pathway for experienced teachers. It recognises and rewards the expertise they have built up and distinctive contribution they can make to improving teaching and learning by sharing their skills with other classroom teachers, and which go beyond what would normally be expected of all classroom teachers. It is an alternative to posts that attract Teaching and Learning Responsibility (TLR) payments, the Advanced Skills Teacher (AST) grade or leadership group posts. Schools can create Excellent Teacher (ET) posts at any time, after appropriate consultation.

Please choose from the following options:
