Title from title screen (viewed on 15/10/2018). Includes bibliographical references. Registration is one of the most important mechanisms to assure the safety, competency and quality of a profession. Its design is underpinned by a clear intent to set and uphold high standards of professional practice. Teacher registration is compulsory for all primary and secondary school teachers in all states and territories in Australia, and for most early childhood teachers. This broad uptake reflects our current understanding of the impact of teaching quality on child and student outcomes, increased community expectations about childrenâs safety and the increased focus on teaching as a high-value profession.Teacher registration is a joint endeavour involving teachers, mentors, leaders, employers, sectors and jurisdictions all playing an important role and contributing to the quality of the processes and outcomes.Teacher registration in Australia is underpinned by the National Framework for Teacher Registration (the Framework) which was agreed by all Education Ministers in 2011. The Framework embedded the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (Teacher Standards) in registration requirements across Australia; a significant step towards teaching as one profession across the country. The Panel found that significant progress has been made across all jurisdictions in implementing the Framework since 2011; in particular, embedding the Teacher Standards has been successful. The Panel regard the Framework and the current institutional arrangements for teacher registration, with state and territory regulatory authorities responsible for implementing teacher registration, as the right foundation for further strengthening teacher registration in Australia.
