Teachers
Teachers have the greatest impact on student learning.
By valuing the performance and building the capabilities of our teachers - particularly their expertise, intellectual development, professional judgement and networks - we improve education and training outcomes for students.
Ongoing professional development for teachers in schools and TAFE institutes is essential to:
- ensuring teachers are effective educators and leaders
- maintaining quality schooling and training
- promoting professionalism
- encouraging a sense of scholarship within the teaching community.
Research confirms that teachers need both in-house and external professional development to enhance their capabilities. Both play important, independent roles in improving school or TAFE organisational capacity and enhancing teacher capital.
