Contribute to the validation of the National Professional Standards for Teachers

The Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) has been commissioned by the Ministerial Council on Education, Early Childhood Development and Youth Affairs (MCEECDYA) to validate the newly drafted National Professional Standards for Teachers. The Standards provide a key building block in raising the quality of teaching across Australia.

We would like to encourage teachers to participate in the validation of the Standards by participating in an online survey between 8 October - 29 October 2010. Further information and a link to the survey can be found at http://www.aitsl.edu.au/ta/go.
