Dimensions?

• Review

• Re-cast

• Re-position.


Review…

• Apply in all settings including early childhood services, primary and secondary schools, Māori medium settings.

• Update to include current research findings and other initiatives (e.g. NZ Curriculum) re effective teaching

• What should all registered teachers know, be able to do, and value as a member of the teaching profession?


Re-cast…

• Should the registration criteria merely describe minimum levels of competence?

Or • Should they be a tool for all

teachers to guide their professional practice?

• Hurdle? Compass? Beacon?


Re-position…• Where there has been a proliferation of

‘standards’, which ones have been the ‘default’ standards?– Professional standards used for attestation for pay

progression– Registration criteria used for registration (must be

used for provisionally registered teachers)– Both should be included in appraisal processes?

• Should the profession have clear and aspirational criteria to use, rather than criteria for a ‘licence to teach’ only.

• Should the criteria also provide a framework for professional learning?
