Timetable

A full-time teacher has 22.5 hours of class contact (actual teaching) time each week. To meet The Standard for Full Registration in the category in which you are qualified, you are required to undertake a percentage of this time as class contact time and a percentage as CPD, as shown below:

• 15.75 hours of teaching (0.7 Full Time Equivalent)
• 6.75 hours CPD (0.3 Full Time Equivalent)

For primary teachers

The whole of the 0.7 FTE should normally be spent with one class. Where this is not possible, at least 80% of your timetable, i.e. at least 0.55 FTE, should be spent in one class.

For secondary teachers

Whether you are qualified in one or two subjects, you will have been allocated to a school in the Induction Scheme on the basis of one of your subjects.

Your timetable should be equivalent to a maximum of 0.7 FTE of a main grade teacher's timetable. Where this is not possible, at least 80% of the timetable, (0.55 FTE) should be spent in the allocated subject.

There should also be as full a spread of classes as possible across the year groups and include a significant element of classes pursuing Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) courses.
