“That ICPA Qld lobbies the Department of Education (DoE) to recognise that the experience gained by a Home Tutor who delivers the curriculum (which is an essential requirement for the Department) go towards the Home Tutor’s necessary qualifications and skill to be a qualified teacher’s aide.”
Home Tutors provide an essential role in the delivering of a school-based education. The department requires a home tutor to deliver this. A home tutor should get credits for recognition of prior learning/experience. This would encourage Home Tutors to continue in the Education Industry either as a Teacher Aide or to pursue Teaching as a career with less time to complete a University degree. It is in the DoE interest to attract and Incentivise more people to become Teacher’s and Teacher’s Aides.
