Are you interested in reviewing articles for Impact? 

Impact is the practitioner journal of the Chartered College of Teaching. It connects research findings to classroom practice, with a focus on the interests and voices of teachers and educators. 

Each issue is peer-reviewed, helping us to ensure that articles are original, methodologically rigorous and relevant for teachers. The purpose of the review process is to provide constructive feedback to support authors in developing their articles.

We welcome the views of both researchers and teachers with experience and knowledge across the wide range of themes covered in each issue. Peer reviewers are asked to critically assess the quality, clarity and relevance of articles for a teacher audience. We provide guidance for our peer reviewers, so prior experience of reviewing is not necessary.

Impact is published termly, and we are usually most in need of reviewers in November/December, March and June. 

If you would like to be added to our reviewer database, please complete the form below and we will get in touch with you with relevant articles in due course. If you have any questions or problems with accessing the form, please email journal@chartered.college

You will be asked to evidence that you have met these requirements through a Headteacher statement

As part of the awarding process, a satisfactory reference from the candidate's Headteacher, or a Senior Leader with delegated responsibility from the Headteacher will be required to confirm that the candidate has good professional standing, that they demonstrate the high standards of professionalism expected of a Chartered Teacher. In situations where the candidate is a Headteacher, the reference will need to be from a Chair of Governors or an Executive Headteacher, where relevant.

We're pleased to offer a means by which organisations can offer credits towards Chartered Status for teachers and leaders undergoing CPD/study with them.

Recognition of Prior Certified Learning (RPCL) exempts candidates from assessment units on the Chartered Status route, up to a total of 30 credits.

Information on Chartered Status for organisations supporting candidates is available here.

Please make sure you have read this carefully before submitting your application.

Summary of fee information

There is a non-refundable fee, usually £500, for initial assessment of your application for RPCL-designation for your programme or qualification, then a fee of £200 each subsequent year to cover the administration and checks involved.

If your application for RPCL is not accepted, you will receive credit to the value of the fee paid that can be used towards future applications for RPCL designation for other programmes or qualifications you may offer.

If your programme or qualification changes substantially, you will need to resubmit for initial assessment again and pay the relevant fee. 

Please note that in exceptional cases, where such a fee would materially prevent the programme from being submitted for RPCL designation because of the scale of the programme for example, the fee for initial assessment and ongoing registration may be reduced or waived; please contact us to discuss this.
