Regional & District Level Teacher Portfolio Assessors - National Teaching Council

The National Teaching Council seeks to recruit Regional and District-level Teacher Portfolio Assessors.

Regional Assessors visit Districts to carry out the quality verification of Newly Qualified Teachers’ (NQTs) portfolios which are initially assessed/evaluated by the mentors/lead mentors at the schools and moderated by the District-level Assessors.

The Regional Assessor will verify the District Assessors’ evaluations of NQTs’ portfolios in line with the agreed evaluation criteria and National Teaching Councils’ Teachers’ Standards. Each Regional Assessor will verify an assigned number of District samples.
