Masters in Teaching and Learning
The new Masters in Teaching and Learning (MTL) is intended to develop and improve teacher quality. It is hoped it will build on the ‘New Professionalism’ agenda that the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) have developed with social partners.
The aim is that over time it should be open to all teachers and that it is expected that every teacher should complete it over the course of their careers. To begin with it will be rolled out mainly to teachers in the first five years of their careers to build on their initial teacher training and induction.
If you are interested in pursuing the MTL or would like any further information, read our facthsheet Masters in Teaching and Learning – Making teaching a Masters level Profession.
