Eligibility for Teacher Induction Scheme on completion of Initial Teacher Education
Students from Scotland and other parts of the UK (RUK) who are studying at a Scottish Higher Education Institution are eligible to join the Teacher Induction Scheme (TIS), which is organised by the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).
Participation in the TIS is not, however, compulsory for these students and some may choose to follow the alternative Flexible Route, which is less structured and may better suit their personal circumstances.
Students from other countries who choose to attend Teacher Education Programmes at Scottish Universities can also follow the alternative Flexible Route to complete probationary service if they are able to remain in Scotland on completion of their studies.
Dè nì MA ann am Foghlam Bun-sgoile le Gàidhlig dhut?
- Ma tha thu nad Neach-ionnsachaidh, is urrainn dhut tòiseachadh air Gàidhlig ionnsachadh no cur ris na sgilean Gàidhlig agad. Ma tha thu fileanta, daingnichidh seo na sgilean cànain agad.
- Gheibh thu gnàth-eòlas nach beag air greis-gnìomhachais ann am bun-sgoiltean ann an Alba fad làn bliadhna sgoile.
- Gheibh thu tuigse agus gnàth-eòlas air gach taobh de bheatha-obrach nan sgoiltean, luchd-teagaisg agus dè bhith ag obair le clann aig diofar aoisean.
- Nuair a thèid an cùrsa a chrìochnachadh, gheibh oileanaich barantas teagaisg a tha aithnichte gu h-eadar-nàiseanta.
- Às dèidh dhaibh ceumnachadh, gheibh a h-uile oileanach às an RA obair ann am bun-sgoil Albannach aig ìre trèanaidh airson bliadhna.
- Rè am beatha phroifeiseanta, gheibh ceumnaichean measgachadh de chothroman sònraichte ann an roinn foghlam na Gàidhlig a bharrachd air farsaingeachd chothroman tro mheadhan na Beurla.
Tha na prògraman seo a’ tarraing air an t-sàr-eòlas a gheibhear san Oilthigh a thaobh dà-chànanas agus foghlam dà-chànanach, a bharrachd air a' Ghàidhlig agus a cultar.
Airidheachd airson Sgeama Inntrigidh Luchd-teagaisg nuair a thèid Ciad Fhoghlam Luchd-teagaisg a chrìochnachadh
Tha oileanaich à Alba is pàirtean eile den RA (RUK) a tha ag ionnsachadh aig Institiùd Foghlam Àrd-ìre ann an Alba, airidh air pàirt a ghabhail ann an Sgeama Inntrigidh Luchd-teagaisg (TIS) a tha air a chur air dòigh le Comhairle Choitcheann Teagaisg na h-Alba (GTCS).
Ach, chan fheum na h-oileanaich seo pàirt a ghabhail san TIS agus dh’fhaodadh cuid an t-Slighe Shùbailte a leantainn nach eil cho structaraichte agus a dh’fhaodadh an suidheachadh pearsanta aca a fhreagradh na b’ fheàrr.
Faodaidh oileanaich à dùthchannan thall thairis a tha a’ gabhail pàirt ann am Prògraman Foghlaim Luchd-teagaisg aig Oilthighean na h-Alba an t-Slighe Shùbailte a leantainn gus seirbheis pròbhaidh a dhèanamh mas urrainn dhaibh fuireach ann an Alba nuair a tha iad air am foghlam aca a chrìochnachadh.
