Teachers at all other LSC-funded providers across the learning and skills sector – including adult and community learning providers, work-based learning providers and prisons - will need to register by 30 September 2008.<BR/> <BR/>Teachers new to the sector from September 2007 need to register within six months of starting to teach, and will have to become licensed practitioners.<BR/><BR/>The regulations, which came into force on 1 September 2007 and form part of the Government's wider FE workforce reforms, also require teachers to undertake at least 30 hours' continuing professional development (CPD) each year and abide by a code of professional practice.<BR/><BR/>Membership of IfL offers teachers the opportunity to exercise their voice, develop a professional identity and gain support for their professional development. <BR/><BR/>Please visit the IfL website at www.ifl.ac.uk for further information, or call 0844 815 3202.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01758412553231388670noreply@blogger.com
