Series Quality of initial teacher education in NSW
Summary Note Recommendations include: "Recommendation 1. To improve and assure the ongoing quality of teacher education programs for literacy, a working party should be established to oversee the strategic coordination of actions arising from the recommendations. Members should include representation from ITE providers, employing authorities, students, teachers and principals who have demonstrated expertise in the teaching of literacy. An initial focus will be to gather information on existing literacy development approaches and school improvement strategies employed by systems and schools. Processes should be established to investigate and report on literacy education in NSW. This should include data on ITE, ongoing professional learning and current literacy education practices. Recommendation 2. Providers should ensure that primary ITE students are provided with evidence-based literacy conceptual frameworks/models. Providers should also ensure an appropriate balance between developing knowledge and understanding for the explicit and systematic teaching of literacy (theory) and developing skills for the teaching of literacy (practice). Recommendation 7. To support consistent judgement of the readiness of primary teacher education graduates to teach literacy in general, and to teach reading in particular, the BOSTES should work with teacher education providers and school systems to develop sample assessment tasks and annotated and graded work samples for providers and teacher education students to access. Recommendation 13. The BOSTES, schools, systems and sectors will further develop comprehensive support materials including a description of essential literacy teaching skills for teachers of K–2 students. Using the essential literacy teaching description, teacher employers/supervisors should undertake an analysis and evaluation of the literacy teaching capabilities of current primary teachers and identify areas for improvement. Employers/ supervisors should, as a matter of priority, collaborate with teachers to identify continuing professional development opportunities for literacy teaching and incorporate such opportunities in teacher professional development plans." - p. 15-16.
