Student Teacher Professional Placements Update: February 2021

GTC Scotland, the Association of Directors of Education (ADES), Scottish Council of Deans of Education (SCDE) and the Student Placement Management Group (SPMG) have released guidance on student teacher placements in Scotland:

Statement by the Scottish Council of Deans of Education

As a result of Covid-19 related restrictions, it was announced today (12 February 2021) that final year dental students would be required to repeat their final year of university studies, due to an inadequate opportunity to develop sufficient clinical experience of aerosol generating procedures. A similar requirement, to repeat the final year, is not envisaged for student teachers.

DEFERRAL REQUESTS

If you are wishing to defer for any reason, please ensure that you read the deferral process before you complete a deferral request form. Send this and any relevant information to Student Support for consideration. If you have already deferred from a previous year, your MyGTCS account will currently show that your induction scheme is set to NO. This will change when allocations have been processed for all current and deferred students. If you have any questions, please contact the Student Support Team.

DENOMINATIONAL SCHOOL

If you would like to complete your probationary period in a denominational school, you will need to gain approval from the Scottish Catholic Education Service.
