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.
