New Zealand Teachers Council Structure
The New Zealand Teachers Council consists of a body of 11 individuals, elected or appointed from different sectors in education. The Council members are responsible for ensuring the Council's legislative functions are carried out effectively and efficiently in the interests of the profession and the public.
The governing New Zealand Teachers Council is supported by an organisation of about 40 employees led by a Director, who implement the functions and strategic direction set by the Council. In addition, the quasi-judicial functions of the Council are supported by several disciplinary bodies. Two advisory groups meet regularly to advise the Council on issues affecting teaching in early childhood education and in Māori medium education.
In addition to these structures, the New Zealand Teachers Council calls on a number of reference groups, steering committees and working parties to help ensure the Council's professional projects are aligned with the aspirations of the sector and with work carried out by key education agencies.
