Consultation
Consultation on the draft Registered Teacher Criteria
Background
The Council is seeking feedback on the draft Registered Teacher Criteria (RTC), which describe the criteria for quality teaching to be met by all fully registered teachers in Aotearoa New Zealand. The draft RTC will replace the Satisfactory Teacher Dimensions.
The consultation process in 2008 includes:
a) a survey for key stakeholders (now closed)
b) an online survey to a sample of teachers from the New Zealand Teacher Council (NZTC) Register
c) an opportunity for all schools and early childhood centres to respond to a consultation pack (available now - see below).
Consultation with schools and centres
A pack is available to principals, tumuaki o ngā kura, or early childhood education centre managers for consultation with staff. To receive a consultation pack, email alastair.mclean@teacherscouncil.govt.nz.
The Council would like your views on the criteria and key indicators, including the extent to which they:
a) represent the essential knowledge and capabilities for quality teaching in Aotearoa New Zealand
b) are both aspirational and achievable for teachers/kaiako and
c) apply across the range of teaching situations.
The consultation pack is now available. The pack comprises three documents:
1) A consultation document (links to 720 kb pdf). Click here to view document as HTML
2) The draft Registered Teacher Criteria (links to 78Kb pdf)
3) A feedback form (links to 320 kb pdf). Click here to download as a word document.
The feedback form can be completed electronically and emailed to alastair.mclean@teacherscouncil.govt.nz or hard copies can be posted to:
Alastair McLean, New Zealand Teachers Council, Box 5326, Wellington.
The closing date for feedback is 10 October 2008.
Stakeholder survey
Key stakeholders were sent a postal survey in early July 2008. This survey is now closed.
Online survey of teachers/kaiako
A randomly generated sample of teachers from the New Zealand Teachers Council register will be selected and invited via email to particpiate in an online consultation. This will be conducted from mid-July to mid-August.
