The actions proposed recognise the value teachers bring to students, communities and the economy.
Neither agree nor disagree
Would you like to provide feedback about these actions?
Do more! The only thing I agree will
Actually make any impact is the ads to raise awareness of what teachers do. We need to change the attitude towards teachers nationally.
What the heck are with the awards…. 99.9 percent of teachers do not care. And those that do… how is adding another award going to retain. They will use awards to get out of teaching.
Improving teacher supply
The actions proposed will be effective in increasing the number of students entering ITE, number of students completing ITE and the number of teachers staying in and/or returning to the profession.
Somewhat disagree

How about making the education degree relevant! Mine was so outdated and it was a shock to the system starting teaching.

You quote the QLD framework like it actually made an impact. Ask any educator that is here…. It was brought in… spoken about for 3 months and disappeared again. There’s a few good ideas, but schools were never supported with additional resourcing to implement it. Once again, the worked dropped on the schools to figure it out.

Don’t let it become another senior experienced teacher where they just get paid as a stepping stone.
