What does a QCT Board member do?

The Board is made up 15 members, most of whom are registered teachers.

Board members form a vital link between practising teachers, members of the teaching profession and the wider public.

As the governing body of the QCT, the Board decides its strategic direction and policies, as well as controls the affairs and exercises the powers of the QCT.

Board members are expected to:

• attend eight meetings and two professional development sessions a year
• serve on the QCT committees that uphold quality standards for the profession
• contribute to judging for the annual TEACHX Awards.
