Professional Teaching Standards

The standards were developed by the Institute in partnership with teachers from around NSW. The standards were validated in a study conducted by the University of New England. 

Overall some 7000 teachers contributed to the development and validation of the standards. The standards provide a framework to guide a teacher’s development throughout their career.  They are arranged over four levels:

  • Graduate Teacher
  • Professional Competence
  • Professional Accomplishment
  • Professional Leadership

Please see Professional Teaching Standards for further details.
