Vocational Excellence Resource Type

READY (Reference model for Educators' Activities and Development in the 21st-centurY) aims to offer a structured way to identify the professional practices and development needs of 21st-century educators. "21st-century educators" is the umbrella term for a highly diverse group of professionals involved in the process of teaching or guiding and facilitating learning who may have different job roles, titles, and responsibilities.

The READY model is set out over six domains of professional activity that characterise the 21st-century educator. As each educator operates in a particular context, there is room for adding a specific domain of professional activity and practices.

Each of the six domains of professional activity has a corresponding set of professional practices (22 in total). 

A number of core descriptors (73 in total) is provided for each professional practice to illustrate how it can be implemented in real settings. The descriptors given are not exhaustive but serve as examples.
