General Note |
The Review produced a number of reports, including a "Discussion paper" (2021) and "Next steps: report of the Quality Initial Teacher Education Review (2022). |
"Recommendation 15 of the Report of the Quality Initial Teacher Education Review recommended strengthening the link between performance and funding of Initial Teacher Education (ITE). It recommended the establishment of a national body or expert group to support the development of a quality measure for ITE courses and to advise on how funding of higher education providers should be based on quality and other relevant factors." - Teacher Education Expert Panel: terms of reference, [page 1]. The reports produced by that expert panel are catalogued in a separate record, entitled "Teacher Education Expert Panel". |
Summary Note |
The discussion paper provides an overview of the current state of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) in Australia, providing evidence on two key questions that form the scope of the Review: how best to attract and select high-quality candidates into ITE and how best to prepare them to become effective teachers. The paper includes discussion questions to help participants share their ideas and experiences; however, the Panel also welcomes feedback on what concerns you most - particularly if they are informed by your own experience as a teacher, pre-service teacher or other education stakeholder. [Publisher summary, ed] |
"Next steps" summary: "The Expert Panel considers that if its [17] recommendations are implemented, teacher workforce shortages will be significantly alleviated. [1] More highly suitable people will want to become teachers. [2] Teachers will be better prepared in the skills they need to make the most difference to students’ learning. [3] They will be more supported as they move into the classroom." - p. iii. |
