News for teachers from the QCT August 2010


Inside Teaching

Third issue of Inside Teaching now available

The August issue of the new national professional magazine for teachers is now available. In the August edition, Inside Teaching goes on the road with the Queensland School for Travelling Show Children; talks with Stephanie Alexander about her best teachers; looks at collaborative action research on the efficacy of online professional learning; interviews the stronger, smarter Chris Sarra; discovers how teachers are using NAPLAN data to inform their teaching; reports the latest research on cyberbullying; looks at behaviour management in the middle years; and much more. See the attached flyer for more information.

Please send us your feedback on the magazine – we would love to know what you think of it and any suggestions you may have for future issues – email enquiries@qct.edu.au with ‘Inside Teaching’ in the subject line.

Inside Teaching is now available online here:

Renewal of full registration  

Renewal of full registration

Teachers at the end of their five-year period of registration must apply to renew their registration if they wish to continue to be registered. All fully registered teachers due for renewal at the end of 2010 will shortly receive a letter from the QCT with information about the renewal process. See the QCT website for more information.

Please note – you do not have to be teaching to renew your registration. No minimum amount of teaching is required – there is a specific pathway to renewal for teachers who are not teaching in schools or who do only a very small amount of teaching.

 
Recording your CPD  

Recording your CPD

For teachers: all teachers with recency of practice need to ensure they keep their CPD records up-to-date, and the simplest way to do this is to use the on-line CPD tool. You will need a password.

For schools: Schools can enter a school-based CPD activity directly into the individual CPD record of each teacher at that school who participated in the activity. This is a very simple process accessed via the school's log-in on the QCT website. A PDF of a step by step guide can be downloaded from the QCT home page under ‘Spotlight’: www.qct.edu.au
