Term 4, 2017 - Well, this term has had a focus again, on "Teacher Registration Renewal", and everything that goes with it. It has been a time to reflect on: Code of Ethics, Code of Conduct and Teacher Professionalism.

Hannah Galloway (Senior Standards Advisor / Regulatory Services - VIT) has reminded us of our "Duty of Care" and obligation to present "Best Teaching Practice" at all times in educational environments.

With that in mind, let's finish the school year with enthusiasm, vigour and vitality.

Enjoy yourself in the classroom!

Term 3, 2017 - Well this term has had a steady focus on practical and interesting PDs, "Teacher Registration Renewal", and staying fit and healthy during the winter months. 

We set our goals earlier this year, and have had to creatively stay focussed and challenged by new and unexpected events. Remember to embrace new learning; it will bring out the best in you.

Term 2, 2017 - The Three "Rs": Re-vitalise, Re-energise and Re-invent

Term 2 is an opportunity for you to re-invent yourself.

Take on board PD offerings, update your knowledge of pedagogy, and prepare yourself physically and mentally to step forward into the new term, with re-energised passion and interest.

Use your holidays well, have fun and relax, and prepare yourself to accept the challenges ahead. Get ready to put the "best you" on display.

Term 1, 2017 - Welcome to a new year!

This year is shaping up to be a great one. The Victorian Curriculum will be fully adopted and in use by all Victorian schools, which means that you have to be 'current'. So, do your homework, jump online and find out what changes have been implemented. Any independent research that you do, will give you a 'point of difference' when going for a CRT position. 

Now is a good time to do some achievable 'goal-setting'. Look at what you will be able to take to any teaching position: passion, experience, talent and commitment. Make sure that you let schools know what you have to offer.

Have a great year!
