How GTEFL PRO Membership Supports Staff Qualification and Compliance

In British Council-accredited schools, ensuring that staff qualifications meet required standards is essential. For teachers with a qualification profile below TEFLI, British Council guidelines allow for formal support through enhanced induction and in-course CPD (Continuing Professional Development) relevant to the setting. GTEFL PRO membership provides the tools and resources necessary to meet these requirements effectively.

Supporting Staff with Qualification Profiles Below TEFLI

British Council Requirement:

• Relevant TEFL Experience with Support: Teachers with a qualification profile below TEFLI must receive formal support through an enhanced induction process and ongoing CPD relevant to their teaching context. This support must be well-documented.

How GTEFL PRO Helps:

• Induction and CPD Resources: GTEFL PRO membership offers a comprehensive suite of CPD resources, including over 100 certified TEFL workshops and live masterclasses. These resources can be used to design a robust induction program that supports teachers in bridging the gap between their current qualifications and the TEFLI standard.
• Tailored CPD: The wide variety of workshops available ensures that CPD activities are directly relevant to the teachers’ specific roles and teaching contexts, allowing schools to tailor their support to the needs of each teacher.
• Documentation Tools: GTEFL PRO provides tools to track and document CPD activities, ensuring that schools can demonstrate compliance with British Council requirements during inspections.

Integrating GTEFL PRO in Your School’s Qualification Strategy

By incorporating GTEFL PRO into your school’s professional development strategy, you can ensure that all staff, regardless of their initial qualification level, receive the ongoing support and training they need to meet British Council standards. This not only helps in fulfilling the qualification requirements but also enhances the overall quality of teaching and learning within the school.
