Rewarding excellence in teaching – the NSW Department of Education wants to hear from parents and carers

3 years ago

Parents and carers have the opportunity to hear about the Rewarding Excellence in Teaching project and how you can be involved in the consultation process.

The Rewarding Excellence in Teaching project aims to recognise excellence in classroom teaching and strengthen the practice of teacher colleagues, as well as making the profession more attractive to those who are considering pursuing teaching as a career.

The purpose of the work is to create a clear classroom teaching career pathway that values professional collaboration and effective teaching practice and allows for further career progression while staying in the classroom.

The Department is currently developing the project through consultation with a wide range of stakeholders and educational partners.
