How has the GTC influenced policy and stimulated debate?

 

last updated:24 Aug 2011

The GTC has used various means to influence policy and stimulate debate in the public domain. These include:

  • Formal responses to public and government consultations related to relevant policy development. This ranges from producing written advice to giving evidence to select committees.
  • Working through formal and informal channels with government ministers and key education partners – e.g. the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA).  
  • Drafting and disseminating policy discussion papers and briefings to facilitate debate amongst a wide audience - primarily policy and decision makers, educationalists; teachers; parents; and pupils.   
  • Holding events – seminars; fora; think tanks; meetings – to broker discussions between key policy stakeholders, foster the sharing of information and development of common policy objectives.  
  • Commissioning or co-funding research and evidence gathering.
  • Promoting the public interest in teaching and learning on key advisory groups/steering groups.
  • Hosting our own conferences and seminars for teachers and other stakeholders
  • Building relationships and influencing debate and policy development through other organisations' events - including party political and teaching union conferences.
