Teacher documents
Certification, categories, portfolio — what and when to file
Details
Certification
Every 5 years: self-assessment + experience review + exam/interview depending on category.
Categories
Specialist → II → I → highest: salary bonus grows with category; highest after 3 years at I.
Pedagogical title
'Teacher-methodist'/'senior teacher' — a separate title with a bonus, filed with certification.
Achievement portfolio
Publications, student olympiads, CPD courses — the evidence base for categories and titles.
Certification is the only regular way to raise a teacher's salary without an admin post. Collect evidence continuously: certificates, materials, student results — all useful in the attestation year.
