The MTL - What is it? How does it differ from existing masters qualifications? And why is the government exploring this route now? Education journalist Mike Baker talks to key figures to find out. Mike visits Hertswood School in Hertfordshire to explore how a Masters qualification can work alongside existing professional development schemes such as the GTC's Teacher Learning Academy. John Carr from the TDA explains in some detail how the new Masters in Teaching and Learning qualification works, which Professor Dylan Wiliam believes could change the way we view CPD in schools. If you're a new teacher, how do you feel about the prospect of a further three years of study to gain a Masters in teaching and learning? If you've already got a Masters qualification under your belt, are you concerned about the government's proposed new Masters in Teaching and Learning?
