Teaching Capabilities Statement

What is the Teaching Capabilities Statement?

A short statement in response to three set questions used to demonstrate suitability for study and work in the teaching profession.
Compulsory for all individuals applying to Initial Teacher Education courses.
One statement can be submitted per application and once submitted, the statement cannot be modified.
Applications will not be considered for Initial Teacher Education courses until the statement is submitted.
If choosing to copy and paste a statement from another source, we recommend the applicant / agent check for any potential formatting or spelling errors before submitting the statement, as it will not be possible to update a statement once submitted.

Regard each question as important and address each one individually.
Where possible, address each of the capabilities.
Provide evidence where possible for a statement (i.e do not write "I have strong resilience in life and deal with challenges happily, instead write "my resilience is demonstrated by the fact that during year 12 I was sick for a month with glandular fever and...")
Evidence is sometimes relevant to more than one capability - it is acceptable to include relevant examples in addressing more than one capability.
Keep to the word limit of between 400 - 600 words.
