Restart Teaching

The department has developed the Restart Teaching program for fully registered teachers who:

• are returning to teach in a Queensland state school
• have a Returning to Teaching in School (RTT) condition placed against their registration with the Queensland College of Teachers (QCT).

Restart Teaching is a QCT accredited RTT program.

Program content

Restart Teaching is a 30-hour, professional development program, comprising four online modules.

• Module 1: Resetting the scene
• Module 2: Identifying changes in legislation and policy
• Module 3: Teaching and learning in the contemporary classroom
• Module 4: Focusing on the contemporary learner

The program will help returning teachers understand the current curriculum frameworks, teaching and learning practices, and legislative and legal responsibilities that are central to their work with students in contemporary school settings.

Participants will work with an experienced online facilitator to complete the program.

Program requirements

To receive a certificate of completion, all mandatory activities must be completed within the 13 week duration of the course.

The mandatory activities include:

• reflection activities
• a sequence of lessons
• participation in two OneChannel web conference sessions with experts.

Program completion

On completion of the Restart Teaching program, participants will be issued:

• a certificate of completion which they will need to present to the Queensland College of Teachers to have their RTT condition removed
• a Smart Classrooms ICT Certificate.

Program intakes

Please note that places in the first intake, beginning Term 2, 2012, have already been filled.

Expressions of interest

We are currently accepting expressions of interest for future programs from departmental employees with the RTT condition for 2012. Please follow this link to our registration form.

Priority will be given to teachers who are permanently appointed to an Education Queensland state school to ensure staffing requirements are met.

Please note that this is an expression of interest only, and does not guarantee your enrolment in the program. Applicants will be contacted via email.

Further information

For more information about Restart Teaching please email the Workforce Capability and Performance Unit or telephone (07) 3237 0039.

Information about requirements for renewal of registration is available from the Queensland College of Teachers.
