Centre for Teaching Excellence

The Centre for Teaching Excellence (CfTE) is the new national centre for Scotland’s teachers, funded by the Scottish Government and hosted by the University of Glasgow. Our mission is to support teachers, schools, and policymakers in delivering equitable, high-quality education that meets the needs of all teachers in Scotland.

The Centre will provide support for all of Scotland’s teachers, including those working in Gaelic medium education, to access, create and use research to enhance teaching and learning.

Share Your Views

It’s important to ensure that the Centre’s work directly reflects the needs and aspirations of Scotland’s teachers. To help us better understand those needs, we’re asking teachers across the country to take the CfTE National Teacher Survey and tell us what matters to you.

No matter where you work or how long you’ve been teaching, the survey is your chance to tell us about your experience and to help direct research that will benefit teachers in schools across Scotland.

In addition, we are looking to appoint a number of experienced teachers on a part-time, secondment basis to help take forward the Centre’s research priorities.

Thank you to everyone who applied for our most recent round of secondment opportunities  Applications are now closed. Further opportunities will be advertised on the website and on social media in the coming months.
