Surveys reveal that almost universally, the AST scheme is regarded as a major disappointment and an opportunity lost.

Columbus, Ohio“The consultants work not only with
beginning teachers but also with experienced teachers who may be having classroom difficulties. Research into this program has shown dramatic improvement in retention rates of both beginning and experienced teachers, and the program has received a number of awards both locally and nationally.”

“This is the way of the future. Medicine wasn’t able to teach doctors how to practise better until they created teaching hospitals. Schools of education have to create teaching schools.”
(Professor Darling-Hammond, Stanford University, quoted in, Teaching teachers: What's the best way? http://www.wtoctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=10094825)

Central to the construction of the program for aspiring chartered teachers was the idea of providing a framework for the continuing official development of teachers who wish to pursue a career without having to leave the classroom.
(Kirk, Beveridge, Smith: The Chartered Teacher, 2003)

CTs will be expected to have an input into school + curriculum development, play a large role in mentoring and delivering new developments. (2005)

“Beginning teachers who have access to intensive mentoring by expert colleagues are much less likely to leave teaching in the early years” (Darling-Hammond, Solving the dilemmas of teacher supply, demand, and standards. New York: National Commission on Education and America's Future 2000, p. 22).

“Findings suggest that beginning teachers who receive comprehensive induction support for two years or more are more likely to have classes that achieve reading gains …at levels comparable to veteran teachers”
(Strong, New Teacher Center, 2006)

In particular, teachers wrote about ways in which the mentor pushed their thinking, helped them plan, and helped them and engage students. John described how his mentors “provided materials about the varied instructional methods to address differentiated learning styles to increase student engagement.” Ann wrote, “my mentor observed my room and kept a detailed log on student engagement. I got to find out many things I didn’t notice in my room.” Mary wrote about how the mentor “encouraged innovative and engaging ideas and activities and emphasised when students were not engaged.”

“Simply having years of teaching experience, then, is insufficient to be a teacher-leader or even to qualify for training” (Ferguson & Morihara 2009)

In order to engage with confidence in the leadership practices that make a measurable difference to students, school leaders need high quality opportunities to update and deepen their knowledge of curriculum, assessment and pedagogy and to learn how to integrate that knowledge into all their leadership activities. (Robinson, p10)

Many Chartered Teachers experience greater fulfillment in their professional lives as they act as advisers or consultants to colleagues in areas beyond their own subject and beyond their own previous area of expertise. The article gives an example of one charter teacher who now works with students who have Autistic Spectrum disorders, and another who works with bilingual learners.
