Beyond the Range - Professional Experience Grants program

Ever wondered what it's like to teach in a rural or remote Queensland state school?

The Department of Education and Training (DET) is offering Beyond the Range - Professional Experience Grants to support high-achieving pre-service teachers to undertake a professional experience in a rural or remote Queensland state school.

Through this initiative pre-service teachers will be provided with up to $1500 to enable them to broaden their skills, professional teaching experience and employment opportunities in rural or remote Queensland locations.

The 'Beyond the Range - Professional Experience Grants' are available to pre-service teachers studying at Queensland Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and who are completing:

• the third or fourth year of an undergraduate pre-service teacher education program in 2012, or
• a Graduate Diploma in Education (or equivalent) in 2012.

Grant recipients must undertake a professional experience placement in a rural or remote Queensland state school in either Semester 1 or 2, 2012.

Grant recipients will be provided with:

• a cash payment to assist with travel, accommodation, and other related expenses
• access to the Beyond the Range Project Room on the Learning Place
• information and additional support to help them prepare for their professional experience in a rural or remote Queensland state school, and
• support from school, local community and regional networks.
