Help us shape the policy to reward great teachers

The Rewarding Excellence in Teaching policy aims to recognise excellence in classroom teaching and strengthen teaching practice across NSW public schools.

The purpose of the work is to create a clear classroom teaching career pathway that values professional collaboration and effective teaching, and has two primary goals:

• To leverage the skills of these highly effective teachers to strengthen teaching practice across the NSW Education system.
• To attract more people into teaching and ensure our students have continued access to quality teachers who might otherwise leave the classroom.

The project team is using a wide-ranging consultation approach, including gathering the thoughts and feedback of the general public and members of our school communities. Please refer to the two-page summary that provides information on the proposed policy options. More details can be found in the full paper.

Privacy collection notice

This consultation is for NSW Education.

Have your say consultations are run by the NSW Department of Customer Service (McKell Building, 2-4 Rawson Place, Haymarket NSW 2000).

We are interested in hearing from the community and will use the information we collect from you to help develop the programs and services that NSW Government provides.

We are collecting only minimal personal information from you. We may collect basic information like your name and contact details, if you choose to provide them. You may provide some personal information in response to questions that we ask you. For example, we may ask you about your experiences or opinions about a particular topic.

Having your say is voluntary and you are not legally required to provide any personal information to us. For some consultations, though, you will not be able to have your say unless you agree to include your personal information.

If you do provide personal information to us, you have a right to access it, and can ask us to correct it if it is wrong.

We may share personal information you provide with other parts of the Department of Customer Service (for example, with our Data Analytics Centre) so that we can conduct analysis across all consultations and refine our engagement methodology.

Where we conduct a consultation on behalf of a partner agency, we would usually share the information that we collect with that agency. Partner agencies for each consultation are listed on the webpage for that consultation.

For privacy information about your use of the NSW Government website generally, please see the NSW Government’s website privacy statement.
