Children and young people learn best when teachers are given the time, resources and scope to make the fullest possible use of their professional talents, knowledge and expertise. An education system that does not give practical effect to this core guiding principle cannot expect to provide pupils with the full range of high-quality learning experiences to which they are entitled.

NASUWT continues to press the government, schools and employers to adopt policies and practices that respect and advance teacher professionalism, including through initial teacher training, induction and career-long professional development.
