What are the Highly Accomplished Teacher Standards?

As an experienced teacher who is increasingly supporting your colleagues to improve, you will likely use the Highly Accomplished descriptors. You will also evidence these if you apply for formal recognition as a nationally certified Highly Accomplished teacher.

Highly accomplished teachers are effective and skilled classroom practitioners and routinely work independently and collaboratively to improve their practice and the practice of colleagues.
