From the Paper:

"One of the main aspects from current legislation is the requirement, from 1 September 2007 under the Teacher Training Reforms, for all new teachers to achieve a new qualification to teach and support learning in the lifelong learning sector. This is referred to as 'Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills' (QTLS) status. The aim of QTLS is two fold, firstly it aims to create an environment for pupil learning and secondly, to incorporate teacher professionalism through continuing Professional Development (CPD).
"To achieve QTLS status, teachers must study and demonstrate knowledge of the following key elements, Professional Values and Practice, Specialist Area and its Pedagogy, Planning for Learning, Learning and Teaching, Assessment for Learning and Supporting Access and Progression and this will be what my assignment is based on."
