The document discusses the process for teacher probation and registration in Scotland. It outlines that the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) oversees teacher probation and regulates registration. New teachers must complete a probationary period where they work with a supporter, engage in professional development activities, and demonstrate they meet the Standard for Full Registration through online profiles. Reasons for potential non-registration include failing to meet standards for professional knowledge, skills, values or fulfilling responsibilities of the probationary process.
