P&C Federation is co-hosting this webinar with the Department of Education to give parents and carers 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 from now until the end of November 2022.

In this webinar, we will be providing an overview of:

• The Rewarding Excellence in Teaching project
• Why the project is important
• How you can be involved and share your views

You will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the presentation.

The webinar will be presented by:
Emma Truswell
Director, Strategy and Projects
NSW Department of Education.

P&C Federation Vice-President Yvonne Hilsz will facilitate the webinar.

Registrations are now open for this webinar. If you can’t attend, the webinar will be recorded, and all registrants will be notified once the recording is available for viewing.

We look forward to you joining this webinar and encourage you to promote the webinar through your local school communities.
