Teacher Training

teacher

This portfolio reviews the support, standards and skills required of pre-service, graduate and post-graduate teachers to meet the high standards expected by parents and the standards that our children deserve.

In 2025 the Teacher Training Portfolio will focus on issues including: 

  • Pre-service undergraduate teacher placements
  • Pre-service teacher placements at Schools of the Air
  • Seeking endorsement/clarification from Universities for their support of governessing as a practical placement pathway

The desire is for universities and the Department of Education to place a very high value on placement in rural and remote areas as a viable option for their practicum requirements.  Offering these students a positive experience in our communities can mean their return upon graduation. 

This portfolio is led by Jane Cunningham and supported by Jasmine Carmody.
